I have impression that it is not encouraged, but Emacs sources have 
enough examples of such autoloading. I posted some links earlier in the 
discussion of this issue, see

I see clear intention of improvement, but I have no particular opinion 
if the patch is risky. I worry a bit that some code related to this 
issue has changed in the development branch of Emacs, so I am unsure 
concerning behavior in earlier versions. I do not object committing the 
patch since it can be reverted later if some problem would arise.
