On the surface, for Windows, the interactive mode offers nothing extra
and in fact offers less than non-interactive mode.

Specifically, autoload functions, though registered (either by having
__autoload() or by using spl_autoload_register()), are not invoked for
missing classes.

So, for windows, what's the point of the interactive mode?
