Subject: [ruby-core:31934] Re: Proposal: Autoload with block

That's interesting, but I don't buy matz' argument:

"the code in the block may not be executed (if the constant is defined
anywhere else), so it is not stable."

The same can be said about this code:

  autoload :Foo, "foo"
  Foo = 1
  p Foo   # => "foo.rb" is not evaluated

And given:

  autoload(:Foo) { Module.new }
  module Foo; end # => The block will be executed, just like autoload
works today.
