 I am using the following plugin to provide autoload abilities:
 http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-autoloader/

 I have created a widget that uses the namespace '\WordPress\Widgets'. I
 was able to use register_widget with it.

 However upon adding and saving the widget, I refresh and it is not stored.
 Removing the namespacing and doing a manual require allows it to function
 as intended.
