Nice feature. Thank you.
It seems well suited to implement a user script library.
Maybe it could be improved further by using an extended autoload function:

  autoload( "/etc/jed.init.d", "*");

which should mean: if any function is not yet defined, and not included in a
specific autoload, all files in the indicated folder will be evaluated to
get the
function and all accompanied functions defined. Dependency and order
problems might be solved by dummy functions in each file head.

Thus the library will be evaluated just in time and will not increase
startup time
of jed.

Would it be a problem to change your name convention .jedrc into
jedini.sl  in order to switch more easily between different worlds with just
one user initialization file?
