Hello Jochem,
seems like we have quite some nice additions to the manual here in this
thread. Now to the real issue, Exceptions don't bubble up. That is they
are simply ignored. And once all __autoload work is done and the class
still doesn't exist an E_ERROR is issued. The work around for cases where
the class must not exist (e.g. when no E_ERROR is needed would be
collecting the exceptions. That is the base Exception class would get an
additional property and getter:
private $previous_exception;
function public getPreviousException();
That way we could let the exceptions bubble up (though some smaller engine
changes are necessary).
