An another solution (it is always a good idea to (provide
'your-lisp)), but instead of (require 'setnu) you could use:

  (autoload 'turn-on-setnu-mode "setnu" "Automatically load file setnu" 't)

The purpose of this is to setup a connection between a function
(turn-on-setnu-mode), and a file ("setnu.el(c)") which contains an
implementation of that function.
