====== Coding Conventions ======
===== Autoloading Classes =====

See /lib/classes/component.php, line 73:
<code>
     * Class loader for Frankenstyle named classes in standard locations.
     * Frankenstyle namespaces are supported.
     *
     * The expected location for core classes is:
     *    1/ core_xx_yy_zz ---> lib/classes/xx_yy_zz.php
     *    2/ \core\xx_yy_zz ---> lib/classes/xx_yy_zz.php
     *    3/ \core\xx\yy_zz ---> lib/classes/xx/yy_zz.php
     *
     * The expected location for plugin classes is:
     *    1/ mod_name_xx_yy_zz ---> mod/name/classes/xx_yy_zz.php
     *    2/ \mod_name\xx_yy_zz ---> mod/name/classes/xx_yy_zz.php
     *    3/ \mod_name\xx\yy_zz ---> mod/name/classes/xx/yy_zz.php
     *
     * @param string $classname
