Comment (by dnaber-de):

 > When you start calling spl_autoload_register directly, though, and you
 provide a way for plugins to provide classes of their own, you quickly
 move into a space where plugin authors need or desire to introduce
 dependencies of their own.

 We are already there. And yes, I totally agree, just having an autoloader
 doesn't solve this problems. But I wouldn't have started this ticket if I
 see a realistic chance to get composer support in the next view years.
 Having an autoloader in core would allow developers at least to use a
 shared instance that can be optimized somehow.

 The proposal is designed flexible and extensible, so in the future it
 wouldn't be a problem to adapt the composer autoloader or the other way
 around.
