Is there any way of aliasing package classes into another namespace in order to allow them to be overridden in the app bootstrap (in a similar way to how core does). I don't want to alias them into the global namespace, just from say Ecommerce\Core to Ecommerce. I know that you can use Autoloader::alias_to_namespace() to achieve the change of namespace, but since this calls class_alias() the package class is already loaded by the point at which you're trying to override it. Thanks.

I know this is quite old, but just curious. Does this accomplish the same thing?
Autoloader:;add_classes(array(
'Ecommerce\\Model_Customer' => __DIR__.'/classes/model/customer.php',
));

For anyone that's interested I've found a way to do it but it seems a bit dirty, alternatives are welcome.

$ecommerce_classes = array(
 'Ecommerce\\Core\\Model_Customer'   => __DIR__ . '/classes/model/customer.php',
);

\Autoloader::add_classes($ecommerce_classes);

// Alias all of the ecommerce core classes into the ecommerce
// namespace to give app classes a chance to override them
array_map(function($class){
 
 $parts = explode('\\', $class);
 $class_name = array_pop($parts);
 
 if( ! class_exists('\Ecommerce\\'.$class_name)) {
  \Autoloader::alias_to_namespace($class, 'Ecommerce');
 }
 
}, array_keys($ecommerce_classes));
