1) ability to customize the fatal error message 2) knowing whether the class is required or optional
I don't think we should start customizing error messages. The engine has a lot of error messages and they are not customized. I see no reason why autoloader can't produce message of its own if it wants to - why the engine should care about it in this particular case. As for being required - I don't see why autoloader needs to know that. If the engine asked for the class, then it needs it, no? If you didn't need the class, why try autoloading it?
