25.0.95; eval-after-load for features |

cat > foo.el <<EOF
(eval-after-load 'foo
(message "feature foo loaded: %s" (featurep 'foo)))
EOF
emacs -Q -l foo.el
According to the doc string of eval-after-load:
Alternatively, FILE can be a feature (i.e. a symbol), in which case FORM
is evaluated at the end of any file that ‘provide’s this feature.
So I would expect that the above form is not run because the file
foo.el does not provide the feature foo. Yet the algorithm
underlying eval-after-load compares the symbol foo with the string
"foo.el" and this is sufficient to evaluate the form.
I think that the behavior described in the docstring would be
useful: my init.el is broken into smaller files which have the same
names as the features they refer to. So I suggest to change the
behavior of eval-after-load instead of fixing its docstring. But
there might also be other issues that I am not aware of.

You are right, it must have been too early in the morning for me.
I am sorry for the noise.
Closing.
