Re: require inside functions. (was: Changes in

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

    It is not _file_ foo, but _function_ foo that did (require 'bar).

    Why is it useful to record that?  For what purpose?

It isn't particularly useful, but it is hard to avoid.
Frequire does the same things, whether `require' was called
from a Lisp function or from code at top level in a file.

However, my change turns off recording in the case where
no file is being loaded.

Does this give good results?
