No, no, do not require packages if you can avoid it!  This will really
slow emacs start time.  Well, of course, you are free to do whatever you
want, but I just can't see all the useless "require"s people have in
their configs.

Instead you can use 'with-eval-after-load' or 'eval-after-load' or
'use-package' <https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package>.
