FEATURE-unload-function would allow packages with uncommon unload strategies to do all unloading by themselves (by passing a flag back to unload-feature not to do any more unloading), but still use the unload-feature machinery to check feature dependencies, for example. Oh, now I see. So after FEATURE-unload-function, unload-feature would do either ALL the rest of the standard processing, or none?
