Sounds likely.  Though I wonder that an add-on might want to slip in
after the FOO-unload-function has reported whether the "normal" unload
actions should be performed.

One thing I was contemplating is whether defadvice might automatically
unload, and what advice.el or the defadvice macro might do to make that
happen.  I'll start another bug for that.

Mind you, I wonder if unload-feature is slightly doomed in general,
ie. unless a given package has thought rather carefully about the
consequences!  :-)
