Autoloading in CI 2.0

[eluser]Dan Horrigan[/eluser]
If you are like me, you would like class autoloading supported in CI 2.0. I have a fork of CI 2.0 and have added this functionality. I have added this functionality, and it works great. It adds nearly zero over head. It only autoloads libraries, models and helpers...if you use static methods for helpers :-). It uses the CI_Loader functions, so all module paths are respected.. Here is how to use it:

Example for loading a library:

Code:

$auth = new Auth();

Or you can use static methods:

Code:

Auth::logged_in();

You get the idea.

You can also use it for Models:

Code:

$user = new User_model();
$user->get($user_id);

You models can still use $this->db.

I particularly like it for helpers (i know EllisLab says they should be procedural, but I like static methods...Issue #29):

Code:

Form::open('email/send');

If you like the idea encourage them to add it in. Issue #33

Here are my changesets (forgot to remove debug code the first time around :-P):
