I see this in the docs at (info "(elisp) Startup Summary")
15. If ‘package-enable-at-startup’ is non-‘nil’, it calls the function
‘package-initialize’ to activate any optional Emacs Lisp package
that has been installed. *Note Packaging Basics::.
Seems pretty clear to me. We could use a command-line argument to make
--batch more useful, though. Something like
--package-initialize, -p Set `package-enable-at-startup' so packages are initialized
WDYT?
