(eval-after-load "info" ..) triggers on loading anything-info

[Martin Schoenmakers]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

As of very recent CVS builds emacs mutters on startup about 'Recursive
`require' for feature `sb-info''. Some digging around revealed that
this in turn was triggered from loading emms-info.el due to an
(eval-after-load "info" '(require 'sb-info)). The recursive requires
are triggered by the same line, which lives just before the relevant
provide in sb-info.el.

It appears that an entry in after-load-alist starts with a 'word
boundary'. Presumably this means foo-info.el is matched by an
eval-after-load for "info" as well. I'm not sure this would be
desirable behaviour, hence this report.

Thank you for providing an otherwise splendid product.
