We could replace the call from C to do-after-load-evaluation by
Frun_hooks(Qafter-load-functions), either passing it the file name
explicitly or making sure load-file-name is still set.

Doesn't something like (push '("" (garbage-collect)) after-load-alist)
do the trick?  Oh I see it doesn't because we check purify-flag.
Clearly this check could be removed if we use after-load-functions.
