I'll use it a lot if they'll be namespaced. It avoids name-collision using
the existing ecosystem and we already use lots of "uses" in our codes.
When Enums came to the party, they came namespaced as traits, classes and
interfaces. The last 2 represent types, concrete and abstract.

Since there may be need for reusability, I feel it can have this kind of
structure:
// File: A.php
```
namespace A;
typedef TypeLists {
type Msg = string|null;
type Numeric = int|float;
type MyClass = \Package\Test|\Package\Db;
}
```
// file: B.php
```

Hi,
It seems to me that there is more to lose than gain. I'm afraid that when we
look at the signature, we'll be confused as to whether it's a class or a type.
Even if these problems were successfully resolved, I feel that it would only
reduce readability. I've never seen a union type complex

Hi Saki,
I will have to disagree as the convenience doesn't come from the
complexity of union types, rather how many times its used. Its easier to
use ConstantNode in 10 functions vs NodeA|NodeB|NodeC.

When writing RFC you'd have to decide/clarify whether you want this to
be an error in strict_types mode only or not.
