Re: [vim/vim] Refined autoload mechanism explanation (PR #20833)

I can buy it, but mind that you are using a global symbol, whereas 52.4 use a script-local symbol.

But mind what the docs of 52.4 says:

```
Some may find the use of several files [a](https://vimhelp.org/insert.txt.html#a) hassle and prefer to keep everything
together in one script
```

I (partially) agree with your point. I also prefer use multiple files, but not in `autoload/`. I value encapsulation.  
But regardless of our own personal preferences, we cannot neglect what is written in the docs or what other users want to do.
