I would prefer this. From your point of view as jedmodes maintainer I
would force to use autoload(), because this way you could do a automatic
dependency checking and provide the user with the information of the
needed dependencies, for example.
And I think a missing autoload() is a sign of an unclean mode. Is there
one mode in the jed/lib that is based on the assumption the user loads a
different mode before? I don't know of one.
Another point is, it breakes any automatism and prevents tools like
fetch_mode_from_jedmodes().

I remember one year ago both of you talked totally different: I've
proposed to load different files of configuration upon startup. That
were your opinions:

Now we talk about this again. The names of the files changed and the
place where they are, but the core is the same. And one thing seems
different: you proposed it.
Schöne Grüße, Jörg.
