Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.namespaces.global
---

I would love to use namespaces, but it seems kind of silly that nothing in PHP 
resolves upwards (be that variables, classes, constants or functions).



Test script:
---------------
https://gist.github.com/3908714/c7639b02a8a4fc2c13ebfbcb35e41d17ab1b8d44

Expected result:
----------------
whoof

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Class 'MyProject\Animal\Animal' not found in 
/Users/Nathaniel/Projects/test/animal/dog.php on line 5

your Animal class is not in global namespace, but in MyProject.
You gotta import it via:
use MyProject\Animal;

This request is invalid
BTW. Namespaces should be all in lowercase.
