There are two sides to that coin. a) There are plenty of situations where you don't want stuff to be autoloaded, and b) there are plenty of situations where you do. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. There should be a mechanism and a convention for distinguishing the two cases. a) We need a nasal library, the habitat of files that will not be loaded unless requested (e.g. by preferences.xml). I don't care whether this is called /lib/nasal or /nasal/lib or whatever. b) We need a nasal autoload area. Anything in this area will be loaded automagically. I don't care whether this is called /auto/nasal or /nasal/auto or /nasal.d (following the Linux style) or simply /nasal (as it is now) or whatever. |
