I know, and I use spl_autoload_register. But then I would blatantly
suggest to remove __autoload() in PHP6 and force SPL to be compiled into
PHP.
I wouldn't go as far as removing it, but definitely would go as far as not recommending to use it if writing a library or application that includes independent modules (such as libraries). If you application is homogeneous and non-modular, then using it may be ok.
