Noting Kris' comment that #2 might jive well with what XML already does, I 
think #3 feels most natural for PHP. Annotation aliases seem directly 
analogous to native use statements, which really are just aliasing a full 
class path under a shorter name.

Would it be too much trouble to support use-as? Regarding duplicate class 
names, I think we might do well to mimic PHP and throw exceptions up front 
when a conflict is detected.

Ultimately, these annotation prefixes are just shortcuts anyway, right? From 
what I recall with doctrine-common's reader, you can skip short notation and 
use the full class name following the "@" symbol. If that's true, I see it 
as all the more reason to mimic PHP's class/namespace handling.
