I was thinking about this. The only real issue is with figuring out a
good lifecycle for the buffer that wouldn't leave the user confused
("Hey, where did this buffer come from?") or result in the file being
loaded/unloaded frequently enough to cause delays.
At this point, after dicking around in the Emacs Lisp manual, I'm
going to keep this as a "load" in my .emacs and assume that anyone who
wants to use the code will either do the same, or set up an autoload
expression if they care about memory usage. When I know more about
provide/require, I'll probably revisit it.
Thanks for the suggestion, though!
