Could you elaborate on that?

I tried

(custom-autoload (quote LaTeX-beamer-item-overlay-flag) "style/beamer")

which did not work[1] despite `LaTeX-beamer-item-overlay-flag' having had
a ":group 'LaTeX-macro" tag until yesterday.  (It now has a ":group
'LaTeX-style" tag.)  And I am not really sure if I am bending the
definition of `custom-autoload' too much by using something like
"style/beamer".
