I’d like to type hint Kirby Plugin or at least use a `use` statement in order to tell my editor (vscode) to not worry about. It is a little bit annoying to see those red errors. Any way to “surpress” it?

You can import `App` as `Kirby`.

```php
<?php

use Kirby\Cms\App as Kirby;

Kirby::plugin('johann/tweaks', []);

```
