On a related note, is it normal that package like org-mouse.el gets
loaded upon calling C-h f org-mouse- <TAB> completion prompt?
org-mouse.el does not contain a single autoload cookie.

I am asking because org-mouse.el advises some functions and its loading
may cause unexpected consequences. See

At the same time, we have users complaining about some defcustoms not
being available without loading.

I feel confused about the situation.
