# Commentary:

# These functions provide an interface based on the lisp implementation for
# loading libraries when they are needed and eliminating redundant loading.
# The basic idea is that each "package" (or set of routines, even if it is
# only one function) registers itself with a symbol that marks a "feature"
# as being "provided".  If later you "require" a given feature, you save
# yourself the trouble of explicitly loading it again.
# 
# At the bottom of each package, put a "provide foobar", so when another
# package has a "require foobar", it gets loaded and registered as a
# "feature" that won't need to get loaded again.  (See warning below for
# reasons why provide should be put at the end.)
#
# The list of provided features are kept in the `FEATURES' variable, which
# is not exported.  Care should be taken not to munge this in the shell.
# The search path comes from a colon-separated `FPATH' variable.  It has no
# default value and must be set by the user.
#
# Require uses `fpath_search', which works by scanning all of FPATH for a
# file named the same as the required symbol but with a `.bash' appended to
# the name.  If that is found, it is loaded.  If it is not, FPATH is
# searched again for a file name the same as the feature (i.e. without any
# extension).  Fpath_search may be useful for doing library filename
# lookups in other functions (such as a `load' or `autoload' function).
#
# Warning: Because require ultimately uses the builtin `source' command to
# read in files, it has no way of undoing the commands contained in the
# file if there is an error or if no provide statement appeared (this
# differs from the lisp implementation of require, which normally undoes
# most of the forms that were loaded if the require fails).  Therefore, to
# minize the number of problems caused by requiring a faulty package (such
# as syntax errors in the source file) it is better to put the provide at
# the end of the file, rather than at the beginning.

# Code:

# Exporting this variable would cause considerable lossage, since none of
# the functions are exported (or at least, they're not guaranteed to be)

#:docstring require:
# Usage: require feature {file}
#
# Load FEATURE if it is not already provided.  Note that require does not
# call `provide' to register features.  The loaded file must do that
# itself.  If the package does not explicitly do a `provide' after being
# loaded, require will complain about the feature not being provided on
# stderr.
#
# Optional argument FILE means to try to load FEATURE from FILE.  If no
# file argument is given, require searches through FPATH (see fpath_search)
# for the appropriate file.
#
# If the variable REQUIRE_FAILURE_FATAL is set, require will cause the
# current shell invocation to exit, rather than merely return.  This may be
# useful for a shell script that vitally depends on a package.
