The other thing is that loading the current file is something you'd
seldom do -- you just say `M-x eval-buffer' instead. (And that function
used to be called, funnily enough, `eval-current-buffer'. OK, it'd have
been funnier if it had been `eval-this-buffer'.)
So I don't think adding this command would be generally useful, and I'm
closing this bug report.
