+ * WinCacheClassLoader implements a wrapping autoloader cached in WinCache for PHP 5.3.
+ *
+ * It expects an object implementing a findFile method to find the file. This
+ * allow using it as a wrapper around the other loaders of the component (the
+ * ClassLoader and the UniversalClassLoader for instance) but also around any
+ * other autoloader following this convention (the Composer one for instance)
+ *
+ *     $loader = new ClassLoader();
+ *
+ *     // register classes with namespaces
+ *     $loader->add('Symfony\Component', __DIR__.'/component');
+ *     $loader->add('Symfony',           __DIR__.'/framework');
+ *
+ *     $cachedLoader = new WinCacheClassLoader('my_prefix', $loader);
+ *
+ *     // activate the cached autoloader
+ *     $cachedLoader->register();
+ *
+ *     // eventually deactivate the non-cached loader if it was registered previously
+ *     // to be sure to use the cached one.
+ *     $loader->unregister();
