bug#26470: Feature Request: Autoload tracing function. |

I like to see when an autoloaded function is requiring or loading a library;
however, I did not find any built-in facility to accomplish that goal. I also
could not find a function to show me the initial constants vector of a
byte-code function that had been autoloaded. The disassemble library does not
show the initial constants vector -- instead, the disassemble library goes to
work in earnest after the function has already been fully loaded and the
constants vector has already changed -- i.e., it no longer begins with [require
...]. The only way I found to see the initial byte-code constants vector of an
autoloaded function before it was fully loaded was to use the following tracing
function.
The Emacs team may wish to consider adding a function that can show a user all
six (6) possible elements of a byte-code function without necessarily fully
loading it if has been autoloaded. And, the Emacs team may wish to offer a
tracing mechanism to let a user know when a particular autoloaded function is
loading a library.
