* $loader = new Autoloader('classes');
* $loader->load_class('FooBar'); // Includes file 'classes/foo_bar.php'
*
*
* An Autoloader instance can register itself to the SPL autoload stack, so
* that explicit 'include' statements for classes are not necessary anymore.
* Applied to the example above:
*
* $loader = new Autoloader('classes');
* $loader->register();
* $foobar = new FooBar(); // File 'classes/foo_bar.php' is automatically included
*
*
* Namespaces are assumed to indicate subdirectories:
*
* Autoloader::create('classes')->register();
* $bar = new Foo\Bar(); // Includes 'classes/foo/bar.php'
* $baz = new Foo\Bar\Baz(); // Includes 'classes/foo/bar/baz.php'
*
*
* Multiple autoloaders can be registered at the same time. Be sure to disable
* exceptions on the previously added loaders!
*
*
* File structure:
* classes/
* | foo.php // Contains class 'Foo'
* other_classes/
* | bar.php // Contains class 'Bar'
*
* Autoloader::create('classes', false)->register();
* Autoloader::create('other_classes')->register();
* $foo = new Foo(); // Includes 'classes/foo.php'
* $bar = new Bar(); // Includes 'other_classes/bar.php', since 'classes/bar.php' does not exist
* $baz = new Baz(); // Throws an exception, since 'other_classes/baz.php' does not exist
