Hello,

I've also noted that on another RFC, but I think it applies here too:=20
Any new constants that are shaped like an enum and used like an enum shoul=
d just be
an actual enum=2E I think instead of `SPL_AUTOLOAD_CLASS` and `SPL_AUTOLOA=
D_FUNCTION`,
there should be an `enum AutoloadType` (to be bikeshed), and the new param=
eters
should be typed as such, instead of `int`=2E

Mel
