Namespaces in documentation need leading \

I am finding LOTS of namespaces in API documentation that are not fully-qualified (starting with \).

They need to be.

I don't even know where to start in fixing this but I'm filing this issue... It's a problem for the API module as well as IDEs if namespaces do not start with \ -- we discussed this a while back and although not everything with namespaces in documentation was agreed upon, this one point was agreed upon by everyone. Our standard is that they *must* start with \ and many of them in core don't.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
