 Replying to [comment:12 dd32]:
 >  * Once again, `ext/spl` can be disabled under PHP 5.2. So no form of
 autoloading is possible on those systems.

 SPL can be disabled, but autoloading itself cannot be (PHP's core engine
 contains support for `__autoload`). #36926 (in 4.7) introduced an
 `spl_autoload_register` shim, so it can be used here fine.
