 Hi Marcin,

eev has some functions for examining the load-history. I'm attaching a
screenshot, and you can try them with:

  ;; From: http://anggtwu.net/2024-find-tryit-links.html
  (progn
    (package-initialize)
    (package-refresh-contents)
    (package-install 'eev)
    (eev-beginner)
    (find-eev-quick-intro "2. Evaluating Lisp")
    )
  )

and then `M-x find-eloadhistory-links'.

The load-history is easy to use with cl-loop after we understand its
format, but understanding its format took me a while.

"Eev is not for adults - and if you're an adult then you will probably
want to uninstall it after a few minutes". More on that here:
