Toot

@shudder @blizzz Well, more a matter of how PHP works. There is one single global table of available symbols (functions/classes/etc.). Once any symbol is declared, it's declared. Whether it's declared in the stdlib, an extension, the current file, or a require()ed file (which is what autoloading does), it's all the same. There's no concept of "imports" like in JS or Python.

Changing that at this point is essentially impossible without breaking a billion lines of code.
