Given this:

use \MyProject\SubProjectA as A;

A\foo::someMethod();

The className given is to the autoload function is
"MyProject\SubProjectA\foo" not "\MyProject\SubProjectA\foo" (notice lack of
leading \)

I just wanted to verify that behaves as intended (which I'm guessing it
does).

Yes.  This is probably a good item to add to the FAQ.
