+# 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 func [func...]

+# Declare a function ($1) to be autoloaded from a file ($2) when it is first

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