Though the user option should go in the Emacs manual. Thanks, this LGTM. A couple of minor nits: > +@node Autoload by Prefix > +@subsection Autoload by Prefix I think a "@cindex autoload by prefix" would be good here. > +During completion for the commands @code{describe-variable} and > +@code{describe-function}, Emacs will try to load files which may > +contain definitions matching the prefix being completed.

Files which > +don't contain any definitions worth loading (test files, for > +examples), should set @code{autoload-compute-prefixes} to @code{nil} > +as a file-local variable. I would add a cross-reference to where update-file-autoloads is described after it's mentioned.
