Hi Rob, I like the simplicity of this, however your RFC doesn't document the changes required to `spl_autoload`[1] to allow it to keep working with this new functionality. The same issue (unexpected additional argument) potentially affects userland autoloaders too, but obviously the individual authors can fix that themselves (whether this would count as a BC break is not immediately clear to me) Slightly tangentially, you may also want to look at a change to `spl_autoload_call` to accept a `SPL_AUTOLOAD_*` argument, so that it works consistently.
