Keep in mind that the whole idea here is to spit things into small, easy to
understand pieces (at least in the default mode).
And some of this is an artifact of having the separation of the interface file.
There could have been one big init function for the user to deal with, but then
they'd have to insert their code in the right place and not get distracted by
all the interesting stuff going on around them.

Yes, but we are essentially taking code from one mib2c file to another. If
there is a separate load routine, if the user is using caching then the
caching conf file can just call the function defined by the container code,
instead of having to regenerate it.
