Re: Is (provide 'foo) at the start good or bad?

> char).  So what is the benefit of providing it at the very start? 

The convention is to put the `provide' at the end of the file.
Occasionally (usually because of mutual dependencies), it is a lot more
convenient to put it at the beginning.  But whenever possible, it should
be at the end (and indeed `eval-after-load' requires it to be at the
end for the feature to work properly).
