Curious: why do we need that?

Why does the whole thing need to be in esh-groups?
IIRC, because of the way esh-module.el uses that file.
Browsing the eshell-module group is supposed to show you all the other
related groups you can customize and their full descriptions,
without having to load the associated file.

No: why do we need to autoload this form?
What fails to happen if we don't?
I thought that custom groups get automatically autoloaded via cus-load.el.

IIUC, it is so that you can do:
emacs -Q -l esh-module
M-x customize-variable RET eshell-modules-list RET
and see the full documentation of each piece, without having to load all
the associated files. So not terribly important, but not quite the same
as normal browsing of custom groups. (I think...)
