The batch-update-autoloads docstring says that it "calls 'update-
directory-autoloads' on the command line arguments." The function
update-directory-autoloads is, in turn, obsoleted in favor of loaddefs-
generate from loaddefs-gen.el (which replaces autoload.el).
Can we bypass the obsolete autoload.el entirely here, instead calling
loaddefs-generate directly?
