+*   In Core Extensions, make `MarshalWithAutoloading#load` pass through the second, optional
+    argument for `Marshal#load( source [, proc] )`. This way we don't have to do 
+    `Marshal.method(:load).super_method.call(sourse, proc)` just to be able to pass a proc.

 *   `ActiveSupport::Gzip.decompress` now checks checksum and length in footer.
