Of course. I just wanted to prevent changing something that works for
frivolous reasons. However:

I agree that it is a good reason. Maybe we should, for additional
safety, ask Per Abrahamsen what he thinks about the ordering change?
Yup. I still can see an argument one could raise against changing the
order:
- with the current order, you can 1/ change the custom file name and 2/ load
it before (the rest of) the init file (in order words, swap the order).
- with the opposite order, you can do neither of these.
Actually, you probably could, if we provided command line options for doing
that.
