A little hyperbole goes a long way...

You really think there are "tens of thousands" of users (i.e.
developers) who have tried multiple load scripts calling the
scriptaculous load function?  Hmmm, hoist with your own petard.

Have a serious look at the scriptaculous loader function, it is a prime
example of turgid, confused programming.  It contains a blatant syntax
error (throw without try..catch), is fragile (as demonstrated here),
uses an amazing series of nested functions with iterators that are
completely unnecessary and and really shouldn't be served as the
primary link in loading the other libraries.

It deserves criticism.

Peter's alternative function does a much better job, why not submit it
with a Trac ticket?
