So, my code snippet is unnecessary. I have 100+ Elisp files [1] and if everything unnecessary was to be identified and dropped I think that would mean -25 files or more :) But I got an idea recently that I told you about already, but I can tell you again, only I only implemented it to a very small degree so far (if I'll ever complete the intention), anyway it is a good idea, and simple as well, namely, keep all configuration (within a field) in _one_ file, and all extensions (within the same field) in other, separate files - that way people can browse the extensions, and use it if they like it, or tell me if it is, in your words, "unnecessary" - I don't think they will, but chances are better since no one wants to browse some other guy's mere options ... Also with this configuration/extension split on can easily add the extensions to a place like the EmacsWiki, just ship it with no prior edit needed! If only I had come up with this idea 10~15 years ago. Regrets, I have but a few ... No, just kidding :) A detail of course. I only did it for ERC so far, I think?
