Since the documentation is now discouraging use of load in
favor of include, it seems worthwhile to clarify whether
you're leaning towards eliminating support for load altogether. 
I understand the advantages of include for compilation, but 
load provides functionality that include doesn't offer, namely 
runtime loading (and re-loading) of compiled code. 
For long running applications, the ability to update code
dynamically is often essential. Of course include can reload
from source, but that seems like a step backwards.

If you intend to deprecate load, what mechanism for loading
compiled code do you suggest?
