- Adding "autoload" to `:vim9script` has the effect that "for#search#" will
- be prefixed to every exported item. The prefix is obtained from the file
- name, as you would to manually in a legacy autoload script. Thus the
- exported function can be found with "for#search#Stuff", but you would
- normally use `import autoload` and not need to specify the prefix.

You can split up the functionality and import other scripts from the
autoload script as you like. This way you can share code between plugins.
