Is it possible to annotate models under app/models/some\_directory if the  
models do not have SomeDirectory namespace?

I’m already using the plugin. The thing is that the models are not in  
the app/model directory but they are located one directory down, like  
app/model/advertising  
The plugin expects models to be prefixed with Advertising:: namespace  
which is not the case. Is there any way to annotate them without using  
namespaces?
