Lua Code:
  1. ## LoadOnDemand: 1
This will require every addon that uses the library to handle loading it properly. LoD is not a magic flag that doesn't load the addon unless it's a dependency, it must be manually loaded by another addon to work (which will introduce hiccups for the player as the addon loads, depending on the size of the library).
