They are completely unrelated. use-package is basically a fancy
'require' facility, which (a) arranges for the library to be loaded
only when it is actually used, and (b) allows the users to specify in
their init file some code that needs to be run immediately before and
after the library is loaded, such as setting up some variables from
the library or which affect the library, turning on and off some
optional features of the library, loading dependency libraries, etc.
