It makes no sense not to autoload it, because then there's no way for
users to turn save-place in a single buffer.  Previously, users needed
to load saveplace.el to have the feature, so an autoload was not
needed.  But the changes which switched to save-place-mode invalidated
that paradigm, and created a deficiency, which I fixed.  (They also
broke the command, which I also fixed.)

I have nothing against having a local mode, but I don't have time to
work on this now, so patches are very welcome.

Thanks.
