Sure, but eval-after-load covered both load and provide before. So this
is an important incompatible change. eval-after-load is advertised for
use in user's personal setup after all.

I wonder if something for provide could be added. `provide' already
checks after-load-alist (though the code now does nothing), how about
give it a dedicated list to check such as post-provide-hook and use the
standard hook facility?
