Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] New core autoloading mechanism with support for
 function autoloading

I don=E2=80=99t like the proposed function names:

autoload_register_class to me reads like =E2=80=9Cregister this class for
autoloading=E2=80=9D. If I observe the intended meaning correctly, it shoul=
d be
called =E2=80=9Cregister_class_autoloader=E2=80=9D.

Same for autoload_register_function - better name would be
=E2=80=9Cregister_function_autoloader=E2=80=9D.

Other functions should be renamed accordingly. Function names should read
like a sentence, like a command.
