Surely if that's true of Adam's example, it's true of yours as well?

This scenario looks identical to Adam's to me, unless you propose to 
look at the entirety of the file to detect if there is something other 
than a use statement in the default namespace.

For that matter, what about this:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;

include __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new Client;
// $client is a GuzzleHttp\Client object

namespace Foo;
$client = new Client;
// $client is a Foo\Client object

Certainly this code is not *sensible*, but it does have a meaningful 
behaviour, which derives directly from the previous examples and 
documented uses of the namespace keyword. I'm not sure how you'd 
distinguish between the various combinations here.
