No, exactly, for me it wouldn't. For example, I'd type something like this: function gogogo cd ~/src/teh_project end funcsave gogogo Then the "gogogo" function is available in all shells and loaded on startup - but not executed until I do so myself.

It'd be greatly appreciated if you could spare a moment to send a bug report! (I'm not a dev by any means, just a fish lover ...)
