PHP use standard functions

Question

I always used standard php lib functions without any use statement as this is the right way to do so and I am certain of it. However recently I updated my PhpStorm and now it automatically autocompletes any standard function (like var_dump, array_fill etc) with use. This is an example:

use function array_fill;
use function array_key_exists;
use function var_dump;

$x = array_fill(0, 5, 'a');
var_dump($x);

Is there any reason behind this? Obviously, it works fine with or without these uses.

Please check your auto import settings for PHP in Settings/Preferences | Editor | General | Auto Import.

In particular -- Enable auto-import from the global namespace option -- looks like it's enabled on your setup.
