The policy is that loading a file should normally not affect Emacs's
behavior, yes. *BUT* that just pushes the question to what we mean by
"affect Emacs's behavior". After all, even just defining a new variable
or function *does* change Emacs's behavior (and in non-trivial ways in
some cases, such as the `eshell/<foo>` functions or the
`vc-<backend>-<operation>` functions).
So there's some finer judgment going on.
Adding oneself to `auto-mode-alist` is considered as acceptable.
I think adding oneself to `browse-url-default-handlers` falls into the
same category.
