For instance, I have a file that defines a minor-mode.  Introducing an arbitrary
string "idi" on a line by itself, I get the following warning

--------

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/hagbard/.emacs’:

Symbol's value as variable is void: idi

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace.
