When an exception happens on the server (e.g. during a query, save, etc.), an EntityServerException gets raised on the client and the RemoteExceptionName tells you what kind of exception occurred (along with other information).  Currently, RemoteExceptionName is the FullName of the type.  Would it be possible to instead return the AssemblyQualifiedName?  

Without the assembly, it can be hard to do logic with that string.  For example, there are times were we'd like to be able to do Type.GetType(serverException.RemoteExceptionName).  That will sometimes work (for example, if the exception is in the current assembly or mscorlib) but doesn't always work if the exception came from some other assembly (e.g. a SqlException, etc.)
