 * Autoloads some Q2A classes so it's possible to use them without adding a require_once first. From version 1.7 onwards.
 * These loosely follow PHP-FIG's PSR-0 standard where faux namespaces are separated by underscores. This is being done
 * slowly and carefully to maintain backwards compatibility, and does not apply to plugins, themes, nor most of the core
 * for that matter.
 *
 * Classes are stored in the qa-include/Q2A folder, and then in subfolders depending on their categorization.
 * Class names should be of the form Q2A_<Namespace>_<Class>, e.g. Q2A_Util_Debug. There may be multiple "namespaces".
 * Classes are mapped to PHP files with the underscores converted to directory separators. The Q2A_Util_Debug class is in
 * the file qa-include/Q2A/Util/Debug.php. A class named Q2A_Db_User_Messages would be in a file qa-include/Q2A/Db/User/Messages.php.
