The state of our unloading support is not good enough to use it blindly,
indeed: it's too easy/common to have packages where `unload` leaves you
with an Emacs that has serious problems (including being unusable).

So, instead we limit ourselves to force-reloading files which tends to
be much more harmless (tho in theory of course it's just as bad).
It also tends to be sufficient.
