I don't think it is a problem to load a file if you are trying to get information (or customize) a *specific* variable (or face or group) defined in that file. However, it could be a problem if we load files as a result of a more generic search, like the apropos commands, creating a customize menu, or a customize buffer for a group containing variables from many unrelated files, like the "basic customization" group suggested on emacs-devel. > However, meanwhile I think that one should not change the format of > the custom-loads property.

I doubt any unbundled code depend on on the custom-loads property. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

I get it now, you want the information for the completion list for the prompt, not for the sake of the buffer. That seems like a worthwhile change. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
