Is CI's Autoload Mechanism Good Enough?

CI's auto-loading is different from php 5 autoloading. With CI auto-loading you can globally initialize selected libraries, helpers, and plugins. With php 5 autoloading, you can include any class on demand as it is instantiated (no need for require/include or CI's loader class). Autoloading implementation is up to the developer.
