The new feature (absolute paths) is a great discovery. It's a way to avoid FPATH. Fpath is abstract mechanism. System of layers. User is to imagine the layers and establish what will be loaded. It's a full-blown abstract system =E2=80=93 actually nothing straightforward. To make the new feature complete, absolute paths must descent to autoloaded functions. Keeping the absolute path only to directly autoloaded function is ersatz. It's a half-step. I autoload single function, and then FPATH again takes control and does the "imagine the layers" thing. This is a tragedy. --=20 Sebastian Gniazdowski
