I don’t like the proposed function names: autoload_register_class to me reads like “register this class for autoloading”. If I observe the intended meaning correctly, it should be called “register_class_autoloader”. Same for autoload_register_function - better name would be “register_function_autoloader”. Other functions should be renamed accordingly. Function names should read like a sentence, like a command. On Mon 10. 4. 2023 at 14:17, G. P.
