What does this imply in the context of compressed files? I started
this thread because the latest CVS emacs loads via autoload a
compressed file `foo.gz'. I think this behavior is as undesirable as
loading a file `foo' via autoload.
Of course.
Is the arg `must-suffix' too unspecific here?
No. It is very specific. It requires a suffix present in `load-suffixes'.
Would it make sense to have something like an exclude list for file
name suffixes so that a file `foo.gz' is treated like `foo'??
No, you do not need an exclude list here. There is an include list,
`load-suffixes'. The problem is simple: ".gz" is in there, whereas it
should not be. ".gz" should be handled specially in the same way as
the empty suffix "", by appending '("" ".gz") to load-suffixes,
wherever '("") is currently appended.
Sincerely,
Luc.
