I don't think that's what Stefan meant to convey, but if he did, I
disagree.  I think avoiding the call if the function is not available
is the cleanest solution, one that we use elsewhere in Emacs in
similar cases.  "Punishing" the entire loadup process because of a
small window where the function is not yet known is sub-optimal, IMO.
