Correct, I don't have another one. This is big feature, I need a lot of
time to implement it. I don't want to waste my time if we decide that RFC
won't pass at all.

In the original message I mentioned `use extension` construction. This
should be enough for solution, isn't it?

Cannot understand the passage, could you explain more?
The only one way to use these extension functions – import them.
namespace A {
use B\Foo;
function Foo::hello(){...}
function Bar::hello(){...} <---- Error, unknown Bar class
}
namepsace B {
class Foo {}
new Foo->hello() <--- Error, hello() is not a member of Foo
}
namepsace C {
use B\Foo;
use extension function A\Foo::hello;
new Foo->hello() <-- Everything's great
}
