Comment (by schlessera):

 I just wrote a longer post about using Composer as a central autoloader
 for WordPress: https://www.alainschlesser.com/adding-central-autoloader-
 wordpress/

 '''Summary of the experiment, for those who don't want to read through the
 entire thing:'''
 - Adding a PHP 5.2 compatible autoloader to WordPress is a matter of
 '''changing just a few lines'''.
 - Having a "well-behaving" class be loaded through that autoloader
 "'''just works'''" (as demonstrated with `_WP_Editors` class.

 If there's interest in delving deeper into that approach, I'm more than
 willing to contribute.
