Description

For all intents and purposes, PEAR style packages are obsolete in favor of namespaced packages handled by a global auto loader (typically Composer).

What are the thoughts on removing the Autoloader, and namespacing phpCAS?

Research direction

The issue identifies the Autoloader and the phpCAS package structure but names no files or tests. Start by mapping the current autoloading and class layout, then review how Composer-based namespacing would affect the authentication client. Done would require an agreed migration scope and updated implementation and tests.
