[TYPO3-dev] streamline wrapper

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Hi Sven,

Very interesting idea. I am looking forward to hear how it feels to  
use in your project (meaning real life).

My own idea was to follow the auto-loading feature in php 5.0 which  
would be possible with a new file structure in the core for that  
version. In such a case any "new [object name]" would include the  
class if not included based on a pattern around the object name. That  
would be nice.

Just thoughts.
