Just to be pedantically correct, there actually is an implementation shipped, see http://php.net/spl_autoload It's even the default if you don't pass your own function to spl_autoload_register. Nonetheless, you are quite right that Tony's complaint is nonsensical, because he could implement whatever autoloader suited his directory structure, if he wanted to - even a case insensitive one. It is true that autoloading isn't mandatory, but it's also a complete straw man, because Sara already made the same point herself: > I don't feel as though that's true of ... > projects where autoloaders > aren't used (not a small number).
