+ * autoload functions or constants).
+ *
+ * That loader dedupes by a content-blind identifier, md5("<package>:<path>"),
+ * stored process-wide in $GLOBALS['__composer_autoload_files']. Several apps
+ * bundle rubix and register the very same identifier, so only the first app to
+ * boot actually loads its copy; every other app's files loop is skipped. The
+ * catch is that those copies are not interchangeable:
+ *
+ *   - an app that php-scopes rubix (e.g. recognize) only defines prefixed
+ *     symbols such as OCA\Recognize\Vendor\Rubix\ML\sigmoid, so when it wins the
+ *     race our un-scoped Rubix\ML\sigmoid is never defined and inference crashes
+ *     with "Tensor\Matrix::map(): Argument #1 ($callback) must be of type
+ *     callable, string given" (issue #1113);
+ *   - an app that ships rubix un-scoped (e.g. mail) defines the very same
+ *     Rubix\ML\* symbols we do, from a different path.
+ *
+ * So we must make sure our symbols exist, but only load our copy when they are
+ * actually missing: blindly requiring the files would fatal with "Cannot
+ * redeclare function Rubix\ML\argmin()" whenever another un-scoped copy already
+ * loaded them. require_once is not enough here - it dedupes by realpath, not by
+ * symbol, so it does not protect against another app's copy. Guard on a
+ * representative symbol from each file instead.
