If this is really a problem I think one should use requires that are
not at toplevel. Most of the time I think this causes more trouble
then it is worth. See for instance infamous the defvar inside let
problem that props up occasionanly.
I'm thinking of something like efs and dired, I want to use efs but not
dired. I *don't* want efs to require dired (not sure whether this is a
realistic example).
