I think it's expected, because the doc strings need to be loaded. Stefan, am I right? > I am asking because org-mouse.el advises some functions and its loading > may cause unexpected consequences. See > https://orgmode.org/list/87r0x6sju1....@fastmail.fm I think org-mouse.el should be fixed not to cause such effects just by loading it. It should do that only when it is actually used. > At the same time, we have users complaining about some defcustoms not > being available without loading. > https://orgmode.org/list/25496.19258.682537.503...@gargle.gargle.howl That's too vague: it talks about "whether a variable exists", which is ambiguous. That a variable is not boundp until its definition is loaded is perfectly expected, and I don't think defcustom changes that in any way (unless you autoload the defcustom, which is considered not the best style around here). So I guess some clarification is in order: what exactly was the problem with that variable being "nonexistent"?
