That's an interesting idea.

On initial consideration, I'm not sure that we *can* get rid of it.   
Solar::factory() and Solar::dependency() and Solar::registry(), for  
example, are key underpinnings.  Having to type a longer prefix class- 
name would be a bit  of a hassle.  (Yes, I know that "more to type"  
is not a good reason, but still.)
