Hello internals,
I am writing to open the discussion for the RFC "use-from syntax for
namespace use declarations":
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/use-from
This proposal introduces an alternative syntax for namespace imports:
```php
use Name from Prefix;
use {A, B} from Prefix;
```
This form is purely syntactic sugar for the traditional `use Prefix\Name;`
syntax. The primary motivation is to improve readability and ergonomic
sorting of imports by placing the imported symbol name first (e.g. `use
User from App\Models`), similar to import styles in other languages like
Python or JavaScript.
The implementation introduces `from` as a contextual keyword in `use`
declarations, ensuring backward compatibility for existing uses of `from`
as method names or identifiers.
You can find the proof-of-concept implementation here:
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/20844
I look forward to your thoughts and feedback.
Best regards,
Stuardo Rodríguez
