Comment (by TJNowell):

 While I would prefer a composer autoloader, I think that there are points
 that need addressing that have been raised by others:

  - What performance improvements can autoloading provide?
  - What problem does this solve?

 So far, Mike is the main opponent of a Composer based autoloader, but if I
 read correctly he has no opposition to an autoloader, just the Composer
 variety. This means there is still work that can be done without
 addressing that.

 Mike has indicated he wanted to work on an autoloader proof of concept but
 didn't have time in that week. Now that time has passed, I'm curious to
 see what he's devised. We also have the composer autoloader, and I think
 both can be used to test and measure performance improvements so that
 autoloading is an easier sell for those still sceptical
