+Subject: [PATCH] uci: auto-load package in `ctx.foreach()` and
+ `ctx.get_first()`
+
+Functions that use `uci_lookup_ptr()` internally, such as `ctx.get()`,
+`ctx.set()` or `ctx.delete()`, implicitly load the given configuration
+name while the higher level functions `ctx.foreach()` or `ctx.get_first()`
+do not.
+
+This behaviour violates the principle of least surprise and might lead to
+non-deterministic program behavior as the outcome of these functions
+depends on prior uci operations performed on the cursor.
+
+Fix this issue by invoking `uci_load()` internally in case the given
+uci package name cannot be found in the cursor's package cache.
