It took me 5 minutes to understand the above ;)
At least now I know about array_map.

It is OK to add such constructs to ini.sl since it is automatically
generated. But to use it for autoloading multiple macros in a
manually managed file is IMO not such a good idea since a casual
SLang programmer will have difficulties understandnig what it
does.

I think the above is also slower than
  ...
  loop(5) { file; autoload(); }

and I don't see an easy way to make autoloads() with array_map.

Could autoload() be modified to accept multiple macros?
