Comment:

 Then again, your approach doesn't really play well with PSR-4, or does it?

 https://github.com/php-fig/fig-
 standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-4-autoloader.md

 > Autoloader implementations MUST NOT throw exceptions, MUST NOT raise
 errors of any level, and SHOULD NOT return a value.

 @rmccue's point was, in retrospect, that WP plays well with this already.
 So as much as it pained me when he closed it because this bit me a few
 times in the past as well, he was correct that this ticket ought to be
 closed as wontfix: any autoloader written in the age of PSR-4 should
 comply with it.
