Subject: Slouken: Addon detecting load type
   In reading and commenting on a couple of recent dynamic loading threads, I realized that, as an addon author, I dont think I have any way of detecting if my addon is being loaded before or after PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD / PLAYER_LOADED.

Would it be possible (for 1.8) to add an extra arg to the ADDON_LOADED event to indicate whether it's being loaded before or after that point? Or failing that a method that could be called to establish this.

In the 1.7 meantime, what's a good test that would reliably show on which side of the event you were on?

   You could try UnitExists("player") on load
(just an idea, I haven't tried it)

   Use UnitExists("player"), if possible, since that is sort of the definition of PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD

   You're welcome, that was my hope. :)
