What about:
namespace foo;
use global functions;
class MyClass{
// do stuff
}
The `use global functions` directive goes after the namespace
declaration, but before any other code. It applies to the entire file,
but only to the current file.
It tells the parser that, if a function call is found in the file, use
the global function. Do not make an NS lookup op code, and if the
function is a recognized built-in with a dedicated op code, use the
dedicated op code.
Methods and classes are unaffected.
