Importing global PHP functions
Description
Hello!
Right now only functions from other namespaces can be imported (and count for some reason) with the use function directive. All other display the cannot be resolved in the Fix imports in Current Namespace window.
Use case/motivation
I have found the use function to be far more elegant than the prefixed syntax, but I have to do it manually. Being able to import them automatically like the class names would save a lot of tedious minor work.

Does this explain my meaning, or should I also include how it should happen in the IDE?
namespace Demo;
use function in_array;
class someClass
{
public function someMethod(string $key): bool
{
return in_array($key, ['a value'], true);
}
}

Yes, well, it would be nice if you write your exact steps, an actual result, and an expected result.

BTW, we are going to add the "Auto Import" feature in NetBeans 22 (https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/7027)
