From PHP 7.0 onwards, classes, functions, and constants being imported from the same namespace can be grouped together in a single
usestatement.
Like this way:
use com\test\{ClassA, ClassB}; $a = new ClassA; $b = new ClassB; Read more here: PHP Manual for Aliasing/Importing

This should work:
use com\test; $a = new \test\ClassA; $b = new \test\ClassB; or
use com\test\ClassA as ClassA; use com\test\ClassB as ClassB; $a = new ClassA; $b = new ClassB;

Very boring! Hope PHP developers will put that feature.

Agreed. I realize that it is to prevent naming collisions but honestly - .NET, Java, and others have been doing it for years. Is is it so hard to throw a fatal error instead of forcing us to have ugly syntax?

the first example would be referring to classes in the namespace
test not com\test, you would have to remove the beginning "\" for it to be using the alias test

@lagbox is right, the beginning "\" for the alias new test\ClassA and test\ClassB will give Fatal error.
I think you can't do such thing.
You can do:
use com\test and refer to your classes at later time as:
test\ClassA test\ClassB
