-** Require
-
-   Some features are not loaded by default to minimize initialization time,
-   so they have to be required (or loaded, if you will). =require=-calls
-   tends to lead to the largest bottleneck's in a
-   configuration. =idle-require= delays the =require=-calls to a time where
-   Emacs is in idle. So this is great for stuff you eventually want to load,
-   but is not a high priority.
