I attempt to cleanup the init file very frequently... every quarter may
be. And the total number of lines is <1k. Not many comments in my file.

For example,

1. I removed code to install eglot, now that it is available as a
   builtin feature.

2. Earlier I wrote a function to toggle themes. Now it is builtin.

And after use-package's inclusion, the file size will further reduce.
