No - not quite.  By calling Solar::loadClass('Solar_Sql', true) you 
would be specifying that you don't want to look at namespaces at all, 
whereas calling Solar::loadClass('Sql') would return the first 
Vendor_Sql it could find (in the case of no known Vendor namespaces, it 
would be Solar_Sql.

The idea came to me at the end of writing the original email out, so I 
didn't have that fleshed out in the code.  I'll work on that and post a 
new patch as it will be absolutely necessary to provide a concrete 
override - the obvious case being when I want my Domain51_Sql to extend 
Solar_Sql - I can't ask for 'Sql' or I'll end up in an infinite loop.
