Hello,

I'm not entirely sure if it's considered a bug, but the first thing that
ido.el does is:

(provide 'ido)

I think that's wrong, because the feature is in fact not there, yet.  As
a consequence

(eval-after-load 'ido ...)

will not be able to use any ido functions.  And if it does, they will be
autoloaded, causing an infinite load recursion.


(Of course (eval-after-load "ido" ...) works around this...)


regards,
Nikolaj Schumacher
