What about adding a function that behaves like __autoload, but with
respect to namespace wildcards? Something like:
<?php
function __namespace_autoload($namespaceName) {
$dirHandle = opendir("/path/to/app/" . $namespaceName);
while(false !== ($file = readdir($dirHandle))) {
if(substr($file,-3) == "php") {
require_once("/path/to/app/" . $namespaceName . "/" . $file);
}
}
}
?>
That would allow for Stan's "use foo\bar\*" without impacting the
performance of normal __autoload() calls.
