For things like:
holiday-general-holidays
at least the strings need to be in pure storage (maybe the list elements too?)

If you think it's worthwhile, feel free.


(None of these variables really need to be autoloaded, but there is no
compatible way to change it now. I already tried once:

Just the strings or each list element?

I would suggest just the strings, so that it doesn't make it quite so
complicated if people want to customize things, but I haven't thought
about it much. With the obsolete ones (hebrew-holidays-#), might as
well do the list elements as well. Thanks.

Thanks.  I have a patch for this in my tree.  I'll check it in when I have a chance.
