I was wrong and I have suppressed the 'interface' type in the PHK autoloader. > If we ever extend autoloader to functions, it would be different > autoloader anyway, since existing autoloaders can't support functions. Are you sure we would need to create a new hook ? If the existing autoload handlers receive a request for a function, they search for a class with that name. Apart from a waste of time, it is harmless. We can even have BC : you just have to declare your autoload handler with an optional second argument, whose default value is 'class'. This would allow new autoload handlers to run on previous PHP versions. Francois
