Yes, I agree.

Do you have an older Emacs available?  Depending on the output of
`update-file-autoloads', we could probably prettify the genereated file
with somethin like this (I removed the EOL-masks for easier editing):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(let* ((autoload-file (expand-file-name "$@"))
       (autoload-file-dir (file-name-directory autoload-file))
       (addition-text "(add-to-list (quote load-path)\n\
                                       (directory-file-name\n\
                                         (file-name-directory 
load-file-name)))"))
  (if (fboundp `loaddefs-generate)
      (loaddefs-generate autoload-file-dir autoload-file
                         (list "tex-wizard.el")
                         addition-text)
    (mapc (lambda (file)
            (update-file-autoloads file nil autoload-file))
          command-line-args-left)
    (with-temp-file autoload-file
      (insert-file-contents autoload-file)
      (cond ((progn (goto-char (point-min))
                    (re-search-forward "^;;; Code:" nil t))
             (newline 2))
            ((progn (goto-char (point-min))
                    (re-search-forward "^$"))
             (open-line 2))
            (t (goto-char (point-max))))
      (insert addition-text)))
  (save-buffers-kill-emacs t))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

WDYT?

Me either.

Yes, makes sense.

Best, Arash
