Bug description:Autoloaders are invoked with invalid class names

Description:
------------
It is possible to invoke class autoloaders with invalid class names leading
to 
potential security issues. Classes can contain alphaumeric, underscore and

backslash characters. However, code like:

    $foo = new $class

where $class might contain any arbitrary string will cause the autoloader
stack 
to be called even if the $class variable contained invalid characters for a

class name.

This could lead to various file inclusion issues as detailed in 
http://drak3.devmx.de/blog/2012/08/08/autoloaded-remote-file-inclusion/

However, it is not reasonable for classloaders to validate the class name
passed 
to it via PHP for valid classname characters. Doing so would be an
incredible 
burden on performance ever increasing with the size of the autoloader
stack.

I suggest that PHP validate the characters of the class before deciding to
call 
the autoloader stack or not.
