/**
 * The infamous 5 line phpgdo autoloader... was cancelled.
 * I present now: the branchless autoloader! :)
 *  * Generally both loaders work like this:
 * 1. Check if classname starts with `GDO\`
 * 2. Turn GDO\Module\Classname into a /fullpath.php (a tad faster on windows because a non required str_replace)
 * 3. Include the fullpath
 * 4. Increase performance counter, which is removed in production. *
