My bad. I had a misconception about those cookies, so I gess they're ok to me,
after all... So, to clean the mind of others that might be thinking like me,
here's the relevant Info excerpt, cristal clear:

"There are two ways to set up an autoloaded function: by calling autoload, and
by writing a special "magic" comment in the source before the real
definition. autoload is the low-level primitive for autoloading; any Lisp
program can call autoload at any time. Magic comments are the most convenient
way to make a function autoload, for packages installed along with Emacs. These
comments do nothing on their own, but they serve as a guide for the command
update-file-autoloads, which constructs calls to autoload and arranges to
execute them when Emacs is built."

Sorry about my messing up...
