Re: [Bug-apl] Emacs lib loaded automatically

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Elias,

SVN 271.

I think emacs mode is special because it survives )LOAD and is not 
visible on APL level.

If we would allow that in general then troubleshooting could become 
rather tricky because
you cannot easily figure the state of the interpreter.

By enforcing the use native functions for of loading shared libraries we 
have everything in
the workspace (even if you dont normally use workspaces) and can send it 
for reproducing faults.
