Why is it more important for (all of) the files where it has been
done than for other libraries where there are multiple, essentially
independent pieces (including independent commands)?  What about
things like org, calc, gnus?  If it helps to do it to something like
calendar, an (uninformed) guess would say it might help to do it to
libraries like those.  Org, in particular, has lots of different
kinds of stuff in it.  I'd imagine there are bits that are relatively
independent.  Just guessing.
