One disadvantage, probably fixable, of autoload over loading in Rprofile
that I forgot to mention is that the help for a package isn't available
until it's loaded.
So
library(eda)
help(smooth)
works, but
autoload("smooth","eda")
help(smooth)
doesn't.
If this is a big problem it should be possible to modify help().
