Actually, on second thought I am not that sure anymore. Several variables, that are important enough for people to want to bind them, are not autoloaded. The situation is potentially dangerous, as we saw with wdired. So we should warn about it _somewhere_. Either the manual or the docstrings or both. Of course, one should make the change I mentioned. Sincerely, Luc.
