I have now waded through all my source and examined
the `require' situation, and in nine out of ten cases
it wasn't an issue of variables, but *functions*!

In but a few cases, it was a matter of variables, only
then there were tons of them and they belonged to
modules I use every session (e.g., ERC) so I thought
it still cleaner and more efficient to use
`require' there.

In fewer cases still it was a matter of one or two
variables. I changed those from require to `defvar'.

I don't see how this surgical procedure will have any
practical impact whatsoever, but yeah, it is still
interesting to reason and be active about
the material.
