__autoload() and exceptions

All, I was playing around today with the autoload functions and I discovered that in PHP 5.3, __autoload() can throw, and scripts can catch, exceptions. This is in direct contradiction to the documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.autoload.php I have filed a bug report with the internals team (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50250) in the event that this behavior is unintended; however, if this is in fact a new feature in PHP 5.3, I want to make sure that we document it properly. Does anyone know the true story? Brandon ================================ Brandon J.
