  <para>
   Register a function with the spl provided __autoload stack. If the stack
   is not yet activated it will be activated.  
  </para>
  <para>
   If your code has an existing <function>__autoload</function> function then
   this function must be explicitly registered on the __autoload stack. This
   is because <function>spl_autoload_register</function> will effectively
   replace the engine cache for the <function>__autoload</function> function
   by either <function>spl_autoload</function> or
   <function>spl_autoload_call</function>.
  </para>
  <para>
   If there must be multiple autoload functions, <function>spl_autoload_register</function> 
   allows for this. It effectively creates a queue of autoload functions, and
   runs through each of them in the order they are defined. By contrast, 
   <function>__autoload</function> may only be defined once.
