#
# An almost ksh-compatible `autoload'.  A function declared as `autoload' will
# be read in from a file the same name as the function found by searching the
# $FPATH (which works the same as $PATH), then that definition will be run.
#
# To do this without source support, we define a dummy function that, when
# executed, will load the file (thereby re-defining the function), then 
# execute that newly-redefined function with the original arguments.
#
# It's not identical to ksh because ksh apparently does lazy evaluation
# and looks for the file to load from only when the function is referenced.
# This one requires that the file exist when the function is declared as
# `autoload'.
#
# usage: autoload [-pu] [func ...]
#
# options:
#	-p	print in a format that can be reused as input
#	-u	unset each function and remove it from the autoload list
#
# The first cut of this was by Bill Trost, trost@reed.edu
#
# Chet Ramey

# by the file and the file itself *must* be named identically.
