-===== Usage Examples =====
+===== Extended Rules for Proposal =====
+Together with PSR-0 rules, for SplClassLoader we would also include a few valid rules that must be implemented, that addicts to original PSR-0 rules, not affecting any of the projects participants, but also improving the flexibility of autoloader:
+  * Allow a namespace to be mapped through multiple paths.
+  * Make SplClassLoader silently fails if class is not found. This one is useful when using multiple instances of SplClassLoader in a single script.
+  * Allow SplClassLoader to lookup in include_path. This is useful for projects that define their own on include_path, such as PEAR and Zend Framework.
+===== Flexibility of a Rule =====
+Even though PSR-0 is strict, PHP cannot force php extension. Ideally, the file extension is customizable, but default approach would be the defined one in PSR-0.
+===== Initial missing support =====
+PHP does not provide a single approach for any OO based autoloader, so initially a new interface is required, for anyone interested to implement their own Autoloader. From now on, let's name it as SplAutoloader.
+The purpose of this interface is to bring the minimum contract that any interested to autoload their resources should follow.
+Here is the proposed implementation:
+<code php>
+/**
+ * SplAutoloader defines the contract that any OO based autoloader must follow.
+ *
+ * @author Guilherme Blanco <guilhermeblanco@php.net>
+ */
+interface SplAutoloader
+{
+    /**
+     * Defines autoloader to work silently if resource is not found.
+     *
+     * @const
+     */
+    const MODE_SILENT = 0;
+    /**
+     * Defines autoloader to work normally (requiring an un-existent resource).
+     *
+     * @const
+     */
+    const MODE_NORMAL = 1;
+    /**
+     * Defines autoloader to work in debug mode, loading file and validating requested resource.
+     *
+     * @const
+     */
+    const MODE_DEBUG = 2;
+    /**
+     * Define the autoloader work mode.
+     *
+     * @param integer $mode Autoloader work mode.
+     */
+    public function setMode($mode);
+    /**
+     * Add a new resource lookup path.
+     *
+     * @param string $resourceName Resource name, namespace or prefix.
+     * @param mixed $resourcePath Resource single path or multiple paths (array).
+     */
+    public function add($resourceName, $resourcePath = null);
+    /**
+     * Load a resource through provided resource name.
+     *
+     * @param string $resourceName Resource name.
+     */
+    public function load($resourceName);
+    /**
+     * Register this as an autoloader instance.
+     *
+     * @param boolean Whether to prepend the autoloader or not in autoloader's list.
+     */
+    public function register($prepend = false);
+    /**
+     * Unregister this autoloader instance.
+     *
+     */
+    public function unregister();
+}

+===== Examples of Namespace Resolution =====
 The standards we set here should be the lowest common denominator for painless autoloader interoperability. You can test that you are following these standards by utilizing this sample SplClassLoader implementation which is able to load PHP 5.3 classes.

-===== Example implementation =====
+===== Examples of usage =====
+Autoloading Doctrine 2:
+<code php>
+$classLoader = new \SplClassLoader(); // $mode is "normal"
+$classLoader->add('Doctrine', array(
+    '/path/to/doctrine-common', '/path/to/doctrine-dbal', '/path/to/doctrine-orm'
+));
+$classLoader->register(true); // Autoloader is prepended
+</code>
+Autoloading PEAR1:
+<code php>
+$classLoader = new \SplClassLoader();
+$classLoader->setMode(\SplClassLoader::MODE_SILENT);
+$classLoader->setIncludePathLookup(true);
+$classLoader->add('PEAR');
+$classLoader->register();
+</code>
+Autoloading in debug mode:
+<code php>
+$classLoader = new \SplClassLoader();
+$classLoader->setMode(\SplClassLoader::MODE_NORMAL | \SplClassLoader::MODE_DEBUG);
+$classLoader->add('Symfony', '/path/to/symfony');
+$classLoader->add('Zend', '/path/to/zf');
+$classLoader->register();

+If any interested wants to customize the public methods, like caching through APC to reduce I/O, it should be possible to extend SplClassLoader and overwrite the public methods.
 ===== Proposal and Patch =====
-The proposal and PHP implementation is already available anywhere through: [[http://groups.google.com/group/php-standards/web/psr-0-final-proposal]]
+The final release version of PSR-0 is available at: [[https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-0.md]]
-Main purpose of this proposal is to suport both PEAR style directory organization and also Namespace directory organization.
+<del>A C extension is already available for usage, and can be grabbed at [[http://github.com/metagoto/splclassloader]]</del>
+An extension to SPL has been created from the original C extension and a [[https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60128|feature request]] has been filled for documentation purposes. The new SPL extension preliminary patch can be found at: [[https://gist.github.com/1310352]]. The provided patch is a minimum working version of SplClassLoader, so it may still require some updates to address minimum issues highlighted after a deep code review.
