[Caml-list] Can we implement #load to load dependencies automatically?

Hi list,

I am wondering why we can't make #load to load everything needed
automatically, given object files already in the search path.

FYI, currently, it only shows the error (t opens B and uses B.x)

utop # #load "t.cmo";;
Error: Reference to undefined global `B'

If all dependencies are in the search path, you should be able to use
`#load_rec`, which does exactly this

Note that since 4.03, the OCaml toplevel comes with a "#help"
directive that makes it easy to discover the available directives
and their meaning.

Utop, even on earlier OCaml versions, additionally provides an
#utop_help command that describes utop-specific features (key
bindings, macros).

Oops, I need to read the manual more carefully. #load_rec works.

Thanks!
