Description:
------------
Bug #48129, "spl_autoload and case sensitive" was marked as closed/won't fix because changing the behaviour of spl_autoload would break backwards compatibility.

As an alternative, to allow case sensitivity in the future, without breaking existing code, why not add a an spl_autoload_case_sensitivity() function?

The function could take a Boolean value, which enables/disables case sensitivity for spl_autoload, with the default being disabled.

Developers who DO want case-sensitivity can simply call:

spl_autoload_case_sensitivity(true);
spl_autoload("MyClass");

This is still an issue with 5.3.8.  Please fix it, it is basic functionality.  Without it, spl_autoload is broken by any definition.

Closing, but not necessarily rejecting. The RFC process is now the proper way to go about proposing and implementing this functionality, not the bug tracker.
