> Currently, it's not possible to call "(unload-feature 'eshell)" after 
> using Eshell. You'll just get an error that some of Eshell's extension 
> modules depend on eshell.elc. This is a relatively minor issue, but I'm 
> hoping to make some improvements to how extension modules get loaded, so 
> this is a prelude to that.

> In addition to making it *possible* to unload Eshell, I also fixed an 
> issue where the unload hooks weren't named correctly. They were of the 
> form 'eshell-hist-unload-hook', but the file's name is em-hist.el. I 
> moved these to 'em-hist-unload-function' and similar ('-function' 
> because the '-hook' version is obsolete, as I understand it).

Thanks, good to hear.  Please add a NEWS entry to call out this
