It only needs to know the class/interface you're referring to.
Imagine you could write

$logger = new SomeLogger();

Instead of trying to instantiate the interface PHP would execute the 
factory method you registered with spl_factory_register().
But for the IDE it wouldn't matter - Code completion would work for the 
specified class. This would even work with interfaces:
$logger = new SomeLoggerInterface();
$logger->... triggers autocompletion for the interface methods.

I don't think so..
spl_factory_register(array(new ObjectFactory(), 'create'));
$logger = new SomeLogger();

would be just the same as:
$objectFactory = new ObjectFactory();
$logger = $objectFactory->create('SomeLogger');

Anyways.. I doubt the RFC will make it into PHP looking at their 
restrictive policy..

Best,
Bastian
