RFC	yes

Summary

The Type::getName method was deprecated and removed based on the argument that it serves no purpose
c826c18
8b7c622
8910d85

However I disagree, I'm building a Diff command very much like doctrine:migration:diff that will output a migration using the schema builder rather than direct SQL (That I'm hoping to get into the doctrine/migration package as well), and I need the ability to reverse the Type name from an instanciated class, without it the ability to reverse the Type to it's string counterpart which is required when doing ->addColumn('colname', 'type)` is lost

I'd be in favor of reverting the removal before the stable release of 4.x, or to add the possibility to pass a class name for a type to addColumn so that this feature is still possible

After a bit of looking around everywhere it seems to still be possible using

\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getTypeRegistry()->lookupName($column->getType())
