Autoloads and (t . SYM) in load-history

[Stefan Monnier]

What was the reason for the following change ?


2002-12-07  Richard M. Stallman  <address@hidden>

        * lread.c (syms_of_lread) <load-history>: Doc fix.

        * eval.c (Fdefun, Fdefmacro): Record in load-history redefining an
        autoload.

        * data.c (Fdefalias): Record in load-history redefining an autoload.


There's already another convention related to the above when
a function is autoloaded.  It involves the `autoload' symbol
property and the Vautoload_queue variable.
Although I'm not 100% sure what it does and what it should do,
it seems that the two things might usefully be merged.
Any thought ?
