Just to be pedantically correct, there actually is an implementation shipp=
ed, see http://php=2Enet/spl_autoload It's even the default if you don't pa=
ss your own function to spl_autoload_register=2E

Nonetheless, you are quite right that Tony's complaint is nonsensical, bec=
ause he could implement whatever autoloader suited his directory structure,=
 if he wanted to - even a case insensitive one=2E

It is true that autoloading isn't mandatory, but it's also a complete stra=
w man, because Sara already made the same point herself:

> I don't feel as though that's true of =2E=2E=2E
> projects where autoloaders
> aren't used (not a small number)=2E
