In that case, I would answer your earlier question with "because it creates an asymmetry between how built-in and external packages work." Honestly, I do not quite see the point of your suggestion.

And autoloading everything doesn't strike me as a good idea. -- Best wishes, Slawomir Nowaczyk ( slawomir.nowaczyk.847@student.lu.se ) Programmer - A red-eyed, mumbling mammal capable of conversing with inanimate objects.
