Just a quick idea - what if requiring that autoloaders behave =
deterministically, that is, once a certain autoloader implementation has =
been given the possibility to find a class it will never be asked again =
(because it wouldn't find it later on either).

That might allow for caching the decision, so the next time you hit the =
same unqualified name you know what is meant? Does that make sense?
