Re: Splitting image-dired.el into smaller files

Do you mean naming the files like this?

    image-dired/compat.el
    image-dired/dired.el
    image-dired/external.el
    image-dired/gallery.el
    image-dired/tags.el
    image-dired/util.el
    image-dired/image-dired.el

How would I then require them, is it like this?

    (require 'image-dired/compat)

If that works, it does sound a bit neater.

That's not very easy to do without introducing circular dependencies,
unfortunately.  I thought about autoloading, but then we'd have a bunch
of mainly internal image-dired things autoloaded that I don't think we
really want.
