>From what I understand, the way it works now is that Ffset records the
old definition of a function in Vautoload_queue if that var is
non-nil.  do_autoload sets Vautoload_queue to t before it calls Fload
and then uses the information recorded in Vautoload_queue to set the
autoload property of function symbols.  The information in
Vautoload_queue is also used to restore things when Fload fails.

Is there a reason why Fload can't do like do_autoload and use the
information recorded in Vautoload_queue to set the autoload property
of function symbols?  (I'm not saying that doing the recording in
Fload is the best/right way, but I think it could be done.)
