Great! You have discovered a nice opportunity to finally move your code
into the FusionDirectory namespace.

PHP reserves (de facto if not de jure) the global namespace for it's own
purposes. If you want to place classes in the global namespace, without
prefixing them, that's fine, but please don't complain if there are clashes=
.
