A <tt>ClassLoader</tt> is an autoloader for class files that can be installed on the SPL autoload stack. It is a class loader that either loads only classes of a specific namespace or all namespaces and it is suitable for working together with other autoloaders in the SPL autoload stack.
If no include path is configured through the constructor or {@link setIncludePath}, a ClassLoader relies on the PHP <code>include_path</code>.
