  12. It's not clear to me from r4rs what happens if you call LOAD other than
  13. at toplevel.  I'd like to be able to do a quick-and-dirty autoload by
  14. saying
  15.  
  16. (define (foo . args)
  17.   (load "foo.scm")
  18.   (apply foo args))
  19.  
  20. but I suspect that compiler writers would rather that I not be allowed
  21. to do that.  Can anyone clarify this for me?  Tnx.
