                        Missing file_exists() check
https://tommcfarlin.com/namespaces-and-autoloading-2017/ actually says,
Note that this code is not checking to see if the file exists. Though I recommend it, it’s been left out for the sake of length and because, in our example, we know the file does exist.
:)
I didn't submit a PR because your article says there are a few options for what to do if it doesn't exist and I didn't want to waste time writing one if you preferred another.
file_exists is normally the check I use.
I'm unclear... is file_exists() omitted from autoload.php intentionally or should it be added?
It can be added. The repository doesn't have it included because this particular code was used during a presentation in which we knew the code would exist.
If you want to open a PR to include the check, that's fine!
