I can see the benefits of using namespaces when the namespace is longer
than a few characters.
But at lesat in the Qt3D case, IMHO it's much better to remove the
namespace because that will give all developers better search results
when they search for class names: searching for "Qt3DWindow" will only
give relevant results, while when searching for "Window" or "QWindow"
the desired results could get lost in the noise.
