Positive. Someone, Karl Hegbloom, I think, posted a patch a couple
years ago that went part-way, but it never made its way into the
sources. There aren't supposed to be any autoloads in the core lisp
area, however, it is appropriate to have a custom-load.el.
To be done right, it would need to work without an existing
auto-autoloads.el file, and that's fairly tricky to do since we would
only have temacs at the point where it would need to be generated.
It's not impossible, of course, it's just a lot of tedious work.
autoload.el would probably have to be rewritten using more primitive
functions, for example.
