Hi, internals,
I'm proposing a improvement to namespace importing. when using 'use' statement to import
many classes, we have to duplicate many times even  we are importing from the same namespace.

I propose a new syntax to import classes\functions\constant in a single statement.

here is the example:

<?php
// reduce 
use GlobalNamespace\SubSpace\ThirdSpace\Class1;
use GlobalNamespace\SubSpace\ThirdSpace\Class2;
use GlobalNamespace\SubSpace\ThirdSpace\ForthSpace\Class3;
// to
from GlobalNamespace\SubSpace\ThirdSace use Class1, Class2 as Alias2, ForthSpace\Class3 as Alias3;
?>

The above code should be self-explained.

More info could be found at the RFC page and the patch.

RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespace-importing-with-from
PATCH :   https://github.com/reeze/php-src/compare/rfc-from-use

Any Opinion, suggestion, improvement will be much appreciated.

Thanks
