Call to undefined function module_load_include()

Problem/Motivation

After updating core to 8.3.6 token.module throws this error:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function module_load_include() in /var/www/html/deploy/docroot/modules/contrib/token/token.module on line 217"

Looks like "module.inc" is not included when hook_module_implements_alter() is executed? This could be a project-related, not sure.

Proposed resolution

I could fix this with:

-- module_load_include('inc', 'token', 'token.tokens');
++ require_once __DIR__ . '/token.tokens.inc';
