 > I don't see any difference with the current autoloading. The first
 plugin to `require` a class wins, any other plugins will not be able to
 replace it any more, and will trigger fatal errors.

 The difference is not in the result of doing it wrong. The difference is
 in the fact that "replacing autoloaded core classes" is not a mechanism
 provided to developers.

 Replacement mechanism => plugin breaks core by replacing => replacement
 mechanism design at fault
 No replacement mechanism => plugin breaks core by replacing => plugin at
 fault
