Oh, I wonder if it is to allow us to only scan some of the input files
at a time (eg a single subdir)?

If the inputs can change during the time it takes us to write loaddefs,
then making autoloads twice in succession could change the output. IMO
that would be a bug in the build system (missing dependencies).
