Hi!

> No, we can not import namespace directly for now :

Of course you can. You just missing on what namespace import means in
PHP, it's not like Java (though a bit like Python).

> <?php
> namespace A {
>     class B {}
> }
>

> 
> var_dump(new B());

use A is a no-op, just as the warnings tell you. You can just write A\B.
It's only 2 characters more. If your A is longer, then you can alias it
to something shorter.

> use GlobalNamespace\SubSpace\ThirdSpace\ForthSpace\Class3 as Alias3;

You could just do
use GlobalNamespace\SubSpace\ThirdSpace as Spc;
$a = new Spc\Class1();
