- More exotic autoload patterns that are incompatible with PSR-0 or PEAR
- Situations where we don't want to register a ton of namespaces, and using a plugin instead gives us performance benefits.

/**
* Find the file for a class that in PSR-0 or PEAR would be in
* $psr_0_root . '/' . $path_fragment . $path_suffix
*
* E.g.:
* - The class we look for is Some\Namespace\Some\Class
* - The file is actually in "exotic/location.php". This is not following
* PSR-0 or PEAR standard, so we need a plugin.
* -> The class finder will transform the class name to
* "Some/Namespace/Some/Class.php"
* - The plugin was registered for the namespace "Some\Namespace". This is
* because all those exotic classes all begin with Some\Namespace\
* -> The arguments will be:
* ($api = the API object, see below)
* $path_fragment = "Some/Namespace/"
* $path_suffix = "Some/Class.php"
* $api->getClass() gives the original class name, if we still need it.
* -> We are supposed to:
* if ($api->suggestFile('exotic/location.php')) {
* return TRUE;
* }
*
* @param xautoload_InjectedAPI_findFile $api
* An object with a suggestFile() method.
* We are supposed to suggest files until suggestFile() returns TRUE, or we
* have no more suggestions.
* @param string $path_fragment
* The key that this plugin was registered with.
* With trailing DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.
* @param string $path_suffix
* Second part of the canonical path, ending with '.php'.
* @param int|string $id
* Id under which the plugin was registered.
* This may be a numeric id, or a string key.
*
* @return bool|NULL
* TRUE, if the file was found.
* FALSE, otherwise.
