Hi,
What's the accepted idiom for calling (provide 'foo-feature)? I picked up
the habit of calling it first in every library I write. This way two
libraries can call functions from each other without causing a circular
dependency.
But I had a look through lisp/*.el and everything calls provide last. Is
there some disadvantage to calling it first that I'm not seeing?
