Possible to make custom class named "Map", and still reference the Haxe "Map" class?

Is it possible to make a class called Map:

// src/test/Map.hx
package test;
class Map {
    public function new ( a : Int, b : Int : c : Int ) {
        trace( a + b + c );
    }
}

And then somehow access both this new Map class AND the original Haxe Map construct in Foo.hx?

// src/test/Foo.hx
package test;
class Foo {
    var map1 : test.Map         = new test.Map( 1, 2, 3 );
    var map2 : Map<Int, String> = [ 0 => "Hello" ];
}

This doesn't work, because the map2 type is automatically resolving to test.Map (not the Haxe one) because Foo.hx is part of the test package which contains the new Map class.

If the Haxe Map construct was part of a package, this would be easy (could just say package_name.Map). However, it has no package. So is there no way to access both?

With Haxe 4 you will be able to use haxe.ds.Map.

Meanwhile, you should be able to access haxe's Map with std.Map.
