You can define suitable aliases.
use \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\File as falFileModel;

Don't be tempted to
use \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility as t3lib_div;
:-)

Although it adds to the confusion, it will certainly make shorter code 
lines which are just easier to read.

So far, limited use of "use" makes code much more readable. If we stick 
to often-used classes it's not hard to read.
