i think the validator component actually does use the Doctrine
annotation reader in:

vendor/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Validator/Mapping/Loader/AnnotationLoader.php

but in anycase, if the validator registers the "validation" namespace
then surely if that namespace is encountered it can be assumed that
the class should exist?
