Future of #Include Handling for Ver 2.0

[LBJ]

Under Version 1 of AutoHotkey, a script may call a function in an external file without having to use #Include so long as a file of the same name as the function exists in one of the library directories.

This is a really handy functionality which appears to be missing in AutoHotkey V2.

Is this an intended and permanent situation for the V2 stream?

Best regards,

Scripts are no longer automatically included from the function library (Lib) folders when a function call is present without a definition, due to increased complexity and potential for accidents (now that the MyFunc in MyFunc() can be any variable). #Include <LibName> works as before. It may be superseded by module support in a future release.

Bummer. That was a truly beautiful feature of the language.

I should say that I love almost everything else in the changes from V1 to V2, but I'll miss the smart auto-include feature.

ahk_h can use #usestdlib to enable this feature.

I didn't realize that.

That makes AutoHotkey_H V2 look a lot more interesting.

Thanks very much.
