Description

The following code:

<?php
use Foo\Bar\String as MyString;

Resulted in this output:

Fatal error: Cannot alias 'Foo\Bar\String' as it is a built-in type in ... on line 3

But I expected this output instead:

Note that Foo\Bar\String is just a namespace (part), not a class/interface/trait/enum.

I checked the 8.2 documentation (migration guide, backward incompatible changes, changelog) and it seems to me this was not really intended. Worked fine up until 8.1.x.
