Why autoload?

The arg to `fboundp` is a symbol not a function (e.g. it can't be
a (lambda ...) for example), so I think #' is ill-advised.
It works fine, in practice, so it's somewhat of a philosophical issue.

I understand efficiency is not a major issue here, but

    (<= 27 emacs-major-version)

works just as well :-)

In which circumstance could `scroll-bar-mode` not be defined?

According to its doc, the `scroll-bar-mode` variable can take values
`nil`, `left`, and `right`.  What do you intend to get by setting it to -1?
