SYNOPSIS
void preload(string file)

DESCRIPTION
Load the object with the given file name, that was returned by
epilog(). It is task of the epilog()/preload() pair to ensure
the validity of the given strings (e.g. filtering out comments
and blank lines). For preload itself a call_other(file, "???")
s sufficient, but it should be guarded by a catch() to avoid
premature blockings. Also it is wise to change the master's
euid from root_uid to something less privileged for the time
of the preload.

You can of course do anything else with the passed strings -
preloading is just the traditional task.
