Wouldn't a simpler solution be to change the interactive spec of the command load-theme to conditionally specify a non-nil NO-ENABLE argument? This argument could, for example, be toggled based on the value of a new user option or an additional yes-or-no prompt. WDYM by "autoload a theme", by the way, and how would that differ from the means by which the function custom-available-themes determines which themes are available for loading? -- Basil
