    Autoload is a stub for an 'as yet unloaded' class.

    In memory limited systems (as my original 8Mb 386 system was),

    all seldom-used classes were made subclasses of this class.

    Autoload catches all messages sent to it, and files-in the real class's

    code when first used. Then the caught message is resent to the (now existing) class.

    A note from later days:

        These days, systems usually have enough memory to allow

        having all classes present, so many of the classes which used to be

        autoloaded are no longer these days. However, a number of examples or

        very seldom used frameworks are still present as autoloaded.

        Instead of using autoloaded classes, it is now recommended to bundle

        extra classes into packages, which are loaded en-bloque.

        Packages can be compiled to a shared class library and thus be loaded

        much faster (there is no need to parse and compile source files).

    Lazy loading:

    Class files are searched along the searchPath (see Smalltalk),

    and any of binary-classFile, byteCode-classFile or sourceFile are loaded,

    whichever is found first.

    For binaries to be loaded, these must be found in a package-subdirectory

    along the so called package path.

    Sources in a package directory along the source path.

    In practice, most Autoloaded classes are found and loaded as source file.

    Initial Setup of Auoload Stubs:

    At initial startup (i.e. when ST/X is NOT coming up with an image),

    the 'patches' startup script recursively walks along all directories

    below the TOP directory (that is one above the stx folder),

    and installs autoload stubs for all .st class files found, for which no

    corresponding class is already present.

    As you can imagine, this takes a long time and makes the initial startup quite slow.

    Therefore, this scheme is no longer the recommended one and we (at eXept)

    always start ST/X with the '--quick' option, which skips this scan operation.

    Late note:

        --quick is now (7.1.1) the default.

        To force an autoload scan, start stx with a --autoload argument.

    Advantage of Autoload stubs:

    Autoload stubs make it easier for a beginner to ST/X, to see what frameworks and classes

    are there, as they appear in the browser with category and class name (although no

    more details are initially visible.

    [class variables:]

        LazyLoading             <Boolean>       if true, the loaded classes

                                                methods will NOT be compiled at

                                                autoload time, but instead when

                                                first called. This allows for a

                                                faster load. However, expect short

                                                pauses later when the methods are

                                                first executed.
