Comment (by pento):

 In [changeset:"45637" 45637]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="45637"
 Code Modernisation: Remove the SPL autoloader polyfill.

 As of PHP 5.3, the SPL extension cannot be disabled, so we no longer need
 this polyfill.

 The file is kept with a `_deprecated_file()` call, to alert any plugins or
 themes that may be loading it directly.

 Props jrf, ayeshrajans.
 See #47698, #46630.
