Comment (by F J Kaiser):
Replying to [comment:10 giuseppe.mazzapica]:
> An example (among literally dozens) the class `WP_MatchesMapRegex` is
located in a file named `class-wp.php` that is so named because ''also''
contains the class `WP`.
>
> Not to talk about some classes that are placed pretty much arbitrarily:
`wpdb` class is in `wp-db.php` and `WP_Query` class is in `query.php`.
Replying to [comment:8 rmccue]:
> I think a staged approach to this is the best way. Firstly, let's make
every class that's not always loaded (wp-admin, etc) loadable via
autoloading. This is probably a large task in itself, as we need to switch
to one-class-per-file with predictable file naming.
Whatever solution there could be, the list of class and file names imo is
priority 1. From there, further steps can be taken. I suggest strongly to
break this task in multiple tickets and proceed from there on.
As I have done an throughout analysis (not by hand) of all classes, etc.
in core (4.4), I can provide '''the base for step one'''
