Another nice to have would be to rationalize lef/use-package vs the

Custom-file: One file that holds all settings.
Leaf/use-package: refactors package-specific settings into
package-specific declarations
It would be nice to be able to look in one place (either
use-package/leaf or custom) rather than having to hunt down some rogue
setting in multiple places.
If leaf/use-package is built in to emacs, one possibility might be to
recommend custom exclusively for setting emacs builtin settings
e.g.find-file-hook -- but that "builtin definition" can become tenuous
fast.
