Re: Should eval of `require' cause a `require' entry in `load-history'?

    IIUC, for a `require' entry to be added to `load-history', the file
    containing it must be _loaded_, via `load', `load-file',
    `load-library', or `require' - it is not enough to evaluate a
    `require' expression for it to be added as an entry for the file in
    which it is contained.

    Do I understand this correctly? I'm not sure it's bad, but I'm also
    not sure it's documented. 

I am not sure why this was done, but it was done very explicitly,
with a conditional in Frequire plus a comment saying it was meant.

Would someone like to check the history and email
to try to find the motive for that exception?
