   The autoload function does this.

   Use, e.g.,
   
      () = evalfile ("myfile.slc");

where myfile.slc has been preparsed.

I wrote sltcp with the idea that it would eventually be merged into
slang.  It even supports connections using openssl.  Eventually I will
create a slang module for it such that one would be able do do

    import ("sltcp", "sltcp");
    variable fd = sltcp->open_connection ("myhost.org", 80, 0);
    % do stuff using sltcp->read, sltcp->write, etc....
