Hi Stefano,
Sorry about the delay here. Hope you'll submit these completions once they
are done.
The proper way to do this is by putting each function in it's own file, e.g.
put
__lp_classes in
share/functions/__lp_classes.fish
After you do that, fish will autoload the __lp_classes function when it's
first used, and later unload it if it isn't used again. The strict 1:1
mapping between files and either completions or functions is so that fish
can later unload completions/functions that haven't been used for a while.
If fish didn't do this, a long running fish process would take several
megabytes of memory, which would be bad behaviour, especially since many
people run ten or fifteen shells in parallel.
