What version is this? Because that's clearly not what it does on emacs
21.3.1. Here simple.el does not have (provide 'simple) in it.
I see no provision for accepting a symbol in eval-after-load. The test it
uses is just:
(assoc file load-history)
The cars of load-history are all strings, so I can't see how it would find
a symbol among them. And it continues to stubbornly return a 1 for that
example when I use 'simple.
Clearly something has changed across versions.
