This could surprise users, unless we write a special load function that takes care of these subtleties.But is not that an argument in favor of the menu item then?I don't see how what I wrote could be in favor or against the menu item. What I tried to say was that a simple (load "~/.emacs") is not what this feature should do, whether from the menu bar or from some other place.
Yes, that is what I meant. Maybe there should be a function doing what is required then. And placing that on the menu is rather natural then IMO.
