One idea back than was that the autoloader is only triggered for things that are listed in a use statement. This would have multiple advantages since we would not require any backslash in front of built-in stuff anymore as anything that is not within a use would never trigger the autoloader and remove any potential performance hit for built-in stuff due to autoloading. Sodium having its own namespace would definitely appear in use statements because that is how IDEs work today and because nobody wants to write Sodium\foo(), or do they? -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger
