Jira issue originally created by user quazardous:

I find not always portable-friendly the use of full class path in DQL.

$query = $em->createQuery('SELECT u FROM \MyProject\Model\User u WHERE u.age > 20');

could be :

$query = $em->createQuery('USE \MyProject\Model SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.age > 20');

or :

$query = $em->use('\MyProject\Model')->createQuery('SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.age > 20');

And with a default namespace attached to the entity manager :

$query = $em->use()->createQuery('SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.age > 20');
