What do you consider fair use of autoloads and what do you consider
misuse? I don't have strong opinions either way on this. One could
argue that autoloads are only for the user, ie. for convenience in
building a .emacs and having M-x some-unloaded-function Do The Right
Thing.
I think I am currently in the "only for users camp". lisp authors
should be required to make the dependencies explicit as they can be
expected to know more. It surely makes it easier to track for somebody
else reading the code.
What currently also bothers me (independent of this) is that using
auto-load looses information. For instance add-minor-mode uses an
commandp call on the toggle funtion. However that does not work if
that function is just an autoload stub.
