That's still perfectly fine because in your code the use statement is =
not outside of a namespace, it is implicitly in the default namespace.
I am talking about the two following scenarios:

use \Exception;
namespace test;

$e =3D new Exception(); //would fails because test\Exception is unknown =
-> use was defined outside the namespace


Or
namespace a{
}

use some\UseDeclaration\which\is\outside\of\AnyNamespace as Useless;  // =
sorry for begin biased ^^

namespace test{
}


Cheers,
