Really? `require' happens during the loading of some other package, so
its delay is absorbed in the overall pause. But autoloading an
arbitrarily complicated package (hi Alan! :) during a stream of user input
can look like a hang. My suggestion is that all "Loading foo..." messages
should be displayed unconditionally, but then when "Loading foo...done"
would be displayed:
* if the minibuffer is in use, clear the echo area to restore it, else
* if the echo area previously had some non-optional message in it, restore
that message, else
* display it normally.
WDOT?
