That would work I guess, although it would make loading different from
calling eval-region on the file, which seems a bit dodgey.

Perhaps there could be a new variable like `after-current-load-forms',
which would be bound to nil by load, and then executed afterwards like
matching entries in after-load-alist (and presumably before it).

Code like d-m-m could push new forms on it, and eval-region could also
implement this feature.  The current `eval-after-load' function could be
used as an interface, by having it use after-current-load-forms if the
filename is nil.

This wouldn't help people who go through the file doing eval-defun, but
I'm not sure there's much that can be done in that case.
