if you load a saved function, then anything else than re-initializing the
persistent variables wouldn't make sense to me.

I still fail to see, however, what difference it would make in this case.
This is not about whether y is persistent, but whether the function string
contains the phrase 'persistent y'. But mea culpa, I'm not a programmer.
