Description

I'm not able to get any file that uses Namespaces extensively. A single Namespace is acceptable but longer Namespaces are ignored.

Any chance of getting this fixed or know of a workaround?

Example of a class using Namespaces that are ignored.

<?php
namespace MainNamespace\SecondName;

use \Automattic\WooCommerce\Checkout\Helpers\ReserveStock;

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the PHP namespace and use example in the report, then locate the parser entry point that handles namespaces and imports. Add a regression test for the extended namespace case and verify that the imported class is no longer ignored.
