Follow-up Comment #1, bug #47658 (project octave):
This sounds more like a request-for-comment than a bug.
Could someone explain the rationale for the current load mechanism?
IMHO, it would be sensible for the functions of all installed packages to be
available (i.e., on the path, using "addpath(genpath ())") at boot, and that
any .oct files should be linked on demand, rather than requiring all .oct
files for a given package to be loaded at once.
