Currently, classes that can't be linked get moved back into the original script and are not preloaded. As such classes may be references from functions that did get preloaded, there is a preload autoload mechanism to load them at runtime.
Since PHP 8.1, we can safely preload unlinked classes, which will then go through usual lazy loading. This means that we no longer need the preload autoload mechanism. However, we need to be careful not to modify any hash table buckets in-place, and should create new buckets for lazy loaded classes.
