Certainly, I can find various ways to work around this problem. However, there are two things that suprise me: - Older versions of CVS emacs (built a couple of months ago) do not try to load ~/bar/foo.gz (even if ~/foo/foo.el doesn't exist at all). (I have something like ~/bar/foo.gz in my load-path for several years. It was never a problem.) - Even my latest build of CVS emacs doesn't try to load an uncompressed file ~/bar/foo. Indeed, until today I wasn't aware that the last resort of `(auto)load' was to try to use the unmodified FILE name. I do not know what is supposed to happen when a directory at the beginning of the load-path contains FILE and another directory at the end of the load-path contains FILE.el. Apperently, emacs will load FILE.el, but it will load FILE if FILE is compressed. I find this a bit confusing / inconsistent.
