Following the discussion in #5823 it has become clear that this feature is supplied at-your-own-risk, this should be more explicitly reflected in its documentation.
Using JSON object should be discouraged as there is no explicit order
of keys in JSON object. Even though it's deterministic in current PHP
version, it may change any time. As stated on http://json.org/:
"An object is an unordered set of name/value pairs. An object begins
with { (left brace) and ends with } (right brace). Each name is
followed by : (colon) and the name/value pairs are separated
by , (comma)."
Fixes#2802.
@Seldaek: As discussed yesterday here addition to the docs re PHP extensions. I have put it as a note as it appears emphasized for users to notice easily.

Add a "classmap-authoritative" configuration setting that can be used to
disable searching the various prefix and fallback directories for
classes that have not been registered with the
Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader class map. This setting can be used to
optimize performance by avoiding a potentially large number of
`file_exists` calls when Composer is being used in a program with
additional autoloader facilities. Use of the setting implies
"optimize-autoloader" to ensure that the most complete class map
possible is generated.
Closes#3603
