Re: piggybank/register is there a better way?

[Alan Gates]

register piggybank.jar;
define SearchTermExtractor  
org.apache.pig.piggybank.evaluation.util.apachelogparser.SearchTermExtra 
ctor();
...
searchTerms = FOREACH row GENERATE SearchTermExtractor(url);

So I have been watch (and using) Earl's latest patches with great joy
but I was wondering if there was a less cumbersome way of  
specifying the functions

for example


searchTerms = FOREACH row GENERATE  
org.apache.pig.piggybank.evaluation.util.apachelogparser.SearchTermExt 
ractor(url);

vs

searchTerms = FOREACH row GENERATE SearchTermExtractor(url);

is there a way via introspection or something to make it so that we  
don't need to specify the full class path?
