Autoloading is for determining the path and filename where a named item is
defined. Namespaces only give you the path. Even with namespaces, you'd
still need to require the files that contain the functions. Plus you'd also
need to use the namespace everywhere you use the function because you cannot
alias functions--only classes. :(
