yes... but you have to put that autoload SOMEWHERE. Otherwise, what's  
the point? You should have been able to intuit that eric understood  
this by stating "adding two files to do this is far lamer than  
Singleton".

I believe it is fair to say at this point that nobody involved with  
nfc cares about "improving" the API as you're suggesting. There isn't  
anything wrong with typing "instance". As Eric stated, if you've got  
such a boner for autoload, you're welcome to fork.
