Although these are described in the manual as separate types of import, they are actually the same: they alias a prefix used to rewrite class names when you mention them. If you have a class "One\Two\Test" and a class "One\Two", then "use One\Two" will allow you to access them as "Two\Test" and "Two", respectively. https://3v4l.org/nQ7pB Similarly, if you alias a prefix with "use Foo as Bar", then "new Bar\Test" will refer to class "Foo\Test", and "new Bar" will refer to class "Foo". https://3v4l.org/2r6WN So "use class" wouldn't make sense, because that's not actually what happens.
