I apologize the delayed reply. I had to do some more digging in the
code to understand more precisley what annoys me:
I have some timer functions that use autoloaded functions. A simple
test case is
(defun foo () (regexp-opt '("bar" "baz")))
(run-at-time 3 nil 'foo)
This will create a message "Loading regexp-opt...done" if regexp-opt
was not yet loaded. This message can override the content displayed
in the minibuffer.
If I understand the code correctly, the function do_autoload in
eval.c normally calls load with arg NOMESSAGE being nil. So load
issues a message. Would it make sense that load used something like
optional-message?
