Would it make sense also to allow wildcard at the end like friend *; or Subnamespace\* or \DifferentNs\*?

friend * is just making things accessible in all classes, but not outside of classes, which doesn't seem much better than just making things public
namespaces with wildcards feels like a backdoor namespace visibility, which is something being discussed separately on https://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespace_visibility

I meant * (not \*) to allow all classes in current namespace.

I think that is potential future scope but should not be included here, and I also think having friend * mean everything in the namespace rather than everything in any namespace would be a bit confusing, so I'm not going to include that in the initial RFC, but thanks for the suggestion
