A bit of a warning: I think I saw someone mentioning that doing the
above was not exactly like switching your init file. What you do with
the above is turn init file loading off and at the same time telling
emacs to load another file. I am not sure but maybe things like
Customize might not work as you expect (not saving to the .emacsT
file).
Someone who knows more can probably fill in here, or you can search
the archives.
I have seen others report exactly this problem, so I think it is a
real concern. In particular, you may find that when you go to save
customize settings, it will fail or save it where you did not expect.
There is a variable that customize uses which may get around this
problem if you set it explicitly, but I seem to remember someone
reporting problems getting this to work as desired/expected.
