running load_class on mthaml

Question

I'm trying to use load_class to load mthaml as I understood it's necessary for performance reasons.

This is the MtHaml library. https://github.com/arnaud-lb/MtHaml

It's namespaced everywhere so getting it working with load_class natively hits the first hurdle. Then it gets instantiated through Autoloader.php which does

namespace MtHaml;

class Autoloader
{
    static public function register()
    {
        spl_autoload_register(array(new self, 'autoload'));
    }

    static public function autoload($class)
    {
        if (strncmp($class, 'MtHaml', 6) !== 0) {
            return;
        }

        if (file_exists($file = __DIR__ . '/../' . strtr($class, '\\', '/').'.php')) {
            require $file;
        }
    }

I'm trying

load_class('Autoloader', 'libraries/MtHaml', '');

But that gives me Fatal error: Class 'Autoloader' not found

Then if I try

load_class('MtHaml\Autoloader', 'libraries/MtHaml', '');

I get Unable to locate the specified class: MtHaml\Autoloader.php

Right now the only way I got this working is by calling it like so

    require_once __DIR__ . '/../libraries/MtHaml/Autoloader.php';
    MtHaml\Autoloader::register();
    $haml = new MtHaml\Environment('php');
    $rendered = $haml->compileFile($haml_file, $haml_cache_path);

The problem being this piece of code is ran anytime I call my $this->load->view in code igniter so I understood load_class was needed to optimize performance as in one controller I could be calling $this->load->view several times.

How do I use load_class with this?

As far as I've unterstood mt-haml this is not necessary at all. load_class is from codeigniter, instead just install the mt-haml package and include it's autoloader and you should be fine already.
