Yeah, I agree -- especially since this is an ELPA package, and not
something a user might just load to futz around with...

(I guess I'm somewhat sensitive to the issue because I poke around in a
bunch of files and have a tendency to load them just to make skipping
around in them easier with `M-.'.  It's so, so annoying to find that
just loading a file suddenly makes Emacs behave differently...  but
that's a problem for developers, and shouldn't take precedence over
what's good for users.)
