Is rmc (technically) required at all in loadup.el?  I tried
bootstrap'ping and check'ing with the attached patch, and these come
through fine.

rmc.el provides autoloaded function `read-multiple-choice', which is
called from `kill-buffer--possibly-save' (defined in simple.el),
which is called from Fkill_buffer (defined in buffer.c), but only
during interactive use.

Of course, killing buffers is everyday business, but autoloading "rmc"
while prompting for user input should be neglectable, shouldn't it?
And during bootstrap everything should be noninteractive, so "rmc"
wouldn't be required at that time, would it?

And do I get a free wish from Eli when I help reducing preloaded libs?
