loading and evaluating the buffer are not the same thing.

[Nick Roberts]

In the Lisp manual, it says:

> The load functions evaluate all the expressions in a file just as
> the `eval-current-buffer' function evaluates all the expressions in a
> buffer. The difference is that the load functions read and evaluate
> the text in the file as found on disk, not the text in an Emacs buffer.

gud.el has the line:

(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))

If I do load-library <RET> gud <RET>

then gud is loaded and cl is not, as you would expect.

However, if I put gud.el in a buffer and do eval-buffer, cl *is* loaded.
Even if I just evaluate the above expression cl is loaded.

This seems wrong and the doc string for eval-when-compile doesn't suggest
otherwise. If it is right, it would be helpful to explain the difference
between load and eval in the manual.
