The following (tested) plugin, placed in ~/.leo/plugins, would be almost
equivalent to a leo_startup.py script:
import leo.core.leoGlobals as g
print('===== local_plugin.py in ~/.leo/plugins/')
def hook(tag, keys):
g.trace(tag)
def init():
g.registerHandler('start1', hook)
return True
The hook function executes at 'start1' time, that is, while other plugins
are loading. The only difference between this plugin and the leo_startup.py
would be that leo_startup.py would execute earlier in Leo's startup
process. Imo, that's not reason enough to do #740

.
The startup branch also adds the --no-leo-startup command line option to
suppress running of leo_startup.py. This spreads almost-never-used features
like a rash.
*Summary*
I would like to mothball the startup branch.
