PRL> New pragma 'autoload' to load functions and modules on-demand


You must have missed all the discussion on -internal and the discussions
about moving things out of the core.

Even an autoload pragma will not be needed.

Upon installation a module (and its exported services) could (note the
could) be registered and perl will take it from there.

No fuss, mess or bother.

The actual mechanisms and what qualifies for registration are currently
undecided. But all core (i.e. in the tarball) modules that are not
judged as requiring a use will be in there.
