If there's macros involved, yes - but then autoloading macros makes no
sense as they're loaded at compile time anyway. When you set up an
autoload, no compile-time loading happens (no import library, etc) so
the macros from the library aren't loaded - but at run time, if you call
a procedure imported from the library, then the library is run-time-loaded.

It's currently working in the ugarit-core library, anyway :-)
