Autoloading
-----------
TBD
All classes, interfaces and traits are loaded automatically at the moment they are used. There's no need to use
`include` or `require`. It is, as well, true for Composer-loaded packages and Yii extensions.
Autoloader works according to [PSR-0](). That means namespaces and class, interface and trait
names should correspond to file system paths except root namespace path that is defined by an alias.
For example, if standard alias `@app` refers to `/var/www/example.com/` then `\app\models\User` will be loaded from
`/var/www/example.com/app/models/User.php`.
Custom alias may be added using the following code:
```php
Yii::setAlias('shared', realpath('~/src/shared'));
```
Additional autoloaders may be registered using standard PHP `spl_autoload_register`.
Helper classes
