Forgive me for not reading the code (yet) but what need is there for an --enable-spl-autoloader flag? What are peoples' thoughts on the name of the class? The word "auto" fits best with all that has come before, yet the proposal here uses "class": what about SplAutoloader? With the introduction of this new class, whatever the name, what happens to __autoload() and spl_autoload_register(), if anything?
