I didn't look into the underlying problem with the autoloader, but just
removing the errors is not a solution. If this is so problematic we should
just drop E_STRICT and use more appropriate error types that already exist
- e.g. in the compiler E_COMPILE_WARNING can be used, which will not invoke
a custom error handler and as such can't cause this issue. We already have
special error types for the compiler, so why not use them?
