What was the reason for the following change ?
I think it was for the sake of unload-feature, to turn the
function back into an autoload.
There's already another convention related to the above when
a function is autoloaded. It involves the `autoload' symbol
property and the Vautoload_queue variable.
I guess it would work to use Vautoload_queue at the end of loading
to update the load history, instead of doing it directly as I did.
I am not sure this is worth doing. It might be easier just to add
a comment on each mechanism pointing to the other one.
One complication in combining them is that Vautoload_queue is set up
only when loading for the sake of an autoload. For other calls to
load, Vautoload_queue is not used.
Also, the name Vautoload_queue is misleading because that variable
is not a Lisp variable. The name should probably be changed.
