On http://www.doctrine-project.org/docs/orm/2.0/en/reference/dql-doctrine-query-language.html#adding-your-own-functions-to-the-dql-language the code example is slightly incorrect.

Mistakes:

• Lexer::T_ABS doesn't exist anymore, I assume Lexer::T_IDENTIFIER is what one wants to use
• Missing use for \Doctrine\ORM\Query\Lexer

Additionally, the section should tell the user that he best has a look at lib/Doctrine/ORM/Query/AST/Functions/* to learn how to write custom functions. It also could be noted that stored procedures can be called with custom functions.
