This looks highly confusing. Why is a class called "Annotations" if you 
use it in the code as "Flow".

use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\BackendUserAuthentication as DataHandler;

DataHandler::start()
...
TYPO3\CMS\Core\DataHandling\DataHandler::start($record, '');

(Bad example, but both classes have a method "start")

PHP probably wouldn't mind, but it can become very confusing what is 
meant by some pieces of code.

If we make meaningful class names as we currently do in 6.x the use of 
aliases should be discouraged IMO.
