Originally created by @BenMorel on GitHub (Oct 21, 2020).

The docs on autoloading proxies suggest to use:

<?php
use Doctrine\Common\Proxy\Autoloader;

$proxyDir = "/path/to/proxies";
$proxyNamespace = "MyProxies";

Autoloader::register($proxyDir, $proxyNamespace);

Even though the Autoloader class is @internal:

namespace Doctrine\Common\Proxy;

/**
 * @internal
 */
class Autoloader
{

Is this a documentation issue in the ORM? Is there an alternative to using this internal class?
Or shouldn't the class be internal at all?

I don't think the class should be internal. It is meant to be used this way
