Loader/Autoloader/Resource.php

Allow retrieving concrete resource object instances using 'get()' syntax. Example:

$loader = new Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource(array(
    'namespace' => 'Stuff_',
    'basePath'  => '/path/to/some/stuff',
))
$loader->addResourceType('Model', 'models', 'Model');

$foo = $loader->getModel('Foo'); // get instance of Stuff_Model_Foo class

$types should be an associative array of resource type => specification pairs. Each specification should be an associative array containing minimally the 'path' key (specifying the path relative to the resource base path) and optionally the 'namespace' key (indicating the subcomponent namespace to append to the resource namespace).

As an example:

$loader->addResourceTypes(array(
    'model' => array(
        'path'      => 'models',
        'namespace' => 'Model',
    ),
    'form' => array(
        'path'      => 'forms',
        'namespace' => 'Form',
    ),
));

Loads the requested resource of type $type (or uses the default resource type if none provided). If the resource has been loaded previously, returns the previous instance; otherwise, instantiates it.
