You suggest semi-automatically saving the generated code in the init
file, instead of the user copying it there manually?  Then I have two
comments:

  . IME users don't particularly like commands writing into their
    files
  . the difference between these two patterns is in this case barely
    perceptible

(And yes, it has to be the init file, because if users dislike us
writing into the init file, they dislike us writing to additional
files even more.)

Bottom line: sounds like a tempest in a teapot.  Especially since the
two users who requested this already said they were satisfied.
