The issue with a package named "auto" has been fixed with cf227735d5fd

The attached handles the case for packages named "all".

(file #36930)

Adding the name "all" to the bug description, since "pkg load all" is also handled specially.

As far as I'm aware it's a small one, I'm not aware of such package. I'm just logging it for future reference.

There is no need to blacklist it, such package will be useless and anyone who tries to develop will notice it soon enough.

Is this a big problem or a little one?  Until there is an actual pacakge named "auto" this isn't an issue.  And maybe we keep it that way by blacklisting "auto" as a possible name.

The pkg function allows "pkg load auto" to load all packages that would usually be loaded automatically. The problem with this is that a package cannot be named "auto"
