Yes that would work too.  Using require might have been a nice example
for "check your dependencies".  Not very important.  So autoload seems
like the ideal solution since both files are part of emacs.

No, because this does not change the fact that comint.el may not be
loaded.

When ansi-color.el does that add-hook when comint.el is not already
loaded comint-output-filter-functions is set to
(ansi-color-process-output)

When comint.el is already loaded comint-output-filter-functions is set
to (ansi-color-process-output comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom
comint-watch-for-password-prompt)
