Hey Nick,

Your reply just gave me flashbacks of the days before ctrl-click and gam=
es of =E2=80=9CFind the Buried Implementation.=E2=80=9D Heh.

I=E2=80=99m sure code like you describe exists, but I haven=E2=80=99t pe=
rsonally run into it (outside of WordPress) since 2011? In either case, =
auto loading was not in use. I=E2=80=99m not even sure how it would work=
 (maybe a custom/manual class-map type thing)?

Sleeping on it, I do agree that Directory is a poor name for a final cla=
ss. You would expect something called Directory to be abstract and be im=
plemented in concrete objects like FileDirectory, FTPDirectory, WebDavDi=
rectory, S3Directory, etc. For the base abstraction of a directory to be=
 final is a bit weird, IMHO.=20
