I noticed quite a few non-interactive functions and defvars have had 
autoload cookies added lately. I can see the point of autoload cookies 
for interactive functions, and maybe some defcustoms, but I am not sure 
of the value of bloating loaddefs.el by autoloading non-interactive 
functions. I had some problems with bootstrapping and parse-time-string 
last night, which I didn't have time to debug fully, but I think it 
might be caused by the removal of a require for parse-time and addition 
of an autoload cookie instead.
