Just so I understand correctly: This is all about performance, right? Because 
an autoloader providing this functionality is basically a one-liner, correct?

If the number of classes to load is indeed that big that the function call 
overhead is significant enough (I agree with Levi that some numbers 
illustrating what we're talking about would be nice), wouldn't that be a case 
for class preloading to really speed things up?

My first impression is that it's a band-aid for overly big class hierarchies 
without going all the way.
Again, maybe some benchmarks could shed some light why this needs to be 
included in the core.
Or maybe I'm missing something.
