Traits are compatible with class autoload mechanism - in fact, if you look at source code of trait_exists function, you will find similar peace of code (see Zend/zend_builtin_functions.c)

What is the default value of $autoload? And in which way traits are autoloaded? Is there something as spl_autoload() for traits?
