Ah something that was overlooked I guess. =)
-on_load is described here 
http://www.erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/code_loading.html 
<http://www.erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/code_loading.html#id83565>
but i feel it should definitely be described with modules as well and 
link to code loading.

Feel free to submit a patch! =) (I actually had trouble finding on_load 
docs just the other day, so I would welcome it).

Actually anyone that feels the docs should have something that isn't 
there should submit a patch for it. I some cases internal exported 
functions are not documented to deter others from using it but normally 
we welcome any clarification and beautification patches to the docs.
