I'm not sure we want the load function to be that smart. This is from
the manual:
-----
The load function is not clever about looking at filename. In the perverse case
of a file named foo.el.el, evaluation of (load "foo.el") will indeed find it.
-----
I think we should respect that principle when dealing with .eln files, even if
it leads to trying to open absurd filenames.
I did some tests, and these are the files probed in each case:
(load "dir/foo.eln")
"{elt}/dir/foo.eln.eln"
"{elt}/dir/eln-hash/foo.eln.eln"
"{elt}/dir/foo.eln.dll"
"{elt}/dir/foo.eln.elc"
"{elt}/dir/foo.eln.elc.gz"
"{elt}/dir/foo.eln.el"
"{elt}/dir/foo.eln.el.gz"
"{elt}/dir/foo.eln"
"{elt}/dir/foo.eln.gz"
where {elt} is an element from `load-path`.
(load "C:/dir/foo.eln")
"c:/dir/foo.eln.eln"
"c:/dir/eln-hash/foo.eln.eln"
"c:/dir/foo.eln.dll"
"c:/dir/foo.eln.elc"
"c:/dir/foo.eln.elc.gz"
"c:/dir/foo.eln.el"
"c:/dir/foo.eln.el.gz"
"c:/dir/foo.eln"
"c:/dir/foo.eln.gz"
(load "dir/foo.eln" nil nil t) <- nosuffix: t
"{elt}/dir/foo.eln"
(load "C:/dir/foo.eln" nil nil t) <- nosuffix: t
"C:/dir/foo.eln"

I agree about this. I am not sure what is the best way to do it. The list of
files probed is inaccessible from Lisp.
Thanks,
Nico.
