[DGD] While loop in auto object this_user() purpose

[bart at wotf.org]

Thats possible, but somewhat confuses things imo. On one side it makes sense
to use a more generic term for such functions regardless of where those are
really implemented, but, there are subtle differences between things
implemented in the primary auto object (which can behave much more like
kfuns), and everything on top of that. 

Gurbalib uses afun for everything really implemented in the (primary) auto
object, and safun for anything implemented in second or higher level
'simulated' auto objects.

Here is an extract from a short discussion between me and Sirdude concerning this.

Gurbalib is however a '3rd party' object library, whereas I don't consider
klib or cloud-server to be '3rd party'.
