FYI, I'd actually suggest this approach. I think the number of people
that will get confused by variable-and-loading-ordering will be far
greater than the number of people trying to figure out why the function
isn't doing anything (especially if in the function documentation it
says a variable must be set for it to perform any actions).
I too immediately tried the new TODO dependencies after the last release
announcement and couldn't get it to work... Old habit of performing
'(require ...)' ahead of the variable settings.
