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.
Putting the "search.vim" script under the "/autoload/for/" directory has

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.
