Hi, I am wondering what you guys think about the Doctrine static core class which contains a few helpers: http://doctrine.pengus.net/svn/trunk/lib/Doctrine.php Essentially it contains a few loader helpers. I think some of them should be part of PEAR2. At the core is the autoload implementation. Furthermore there is also a method to loadAll to load everything at once. These seem like candidates for PEAR2. I think in the interest of making it possible of getting rid if conditional includes every new PEAR package should probably also have a file that flat out includes every file in the package. As a result new PEAR packages can leverage autoload, conditionally include all files with a method call or load everything at once with a static unconditional include. This gives ultimate flexibility for all users.

It makes sense, development version can use autoload or conditional includes and, when deployed to production, use the include-all to be nice to opcode caches. Arnaud.
