Just to be clear, PHP already has a syntax for explicitly resolving a name relative to the current
namespace, it's just not needed very often. See e.g. https://3v4l.org/Xfma5 and https://3v4l.org/3o2TD (You're right that underneath
it's all just string concatenation, but that's all you need in this case.)

All I was talking about was alternative syntax that would behave in exactly the same way that
"namespace\Foo" already does.
