[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,
I propose the attached patch adding three missing autoload cookies
to eliminate two require forms from two sections in my init.el.
To eliminate (require 'shortdoc) from the first section:
(with-eval-after-load 'help-fns
;; ChatGPT recommends to require `shortdoc' contrary to the
;; `shortdoc-help-fns-examples-function' documentation string.
(require 'shortdoc)
(add-hook 'help-fns-describe-function-functions
#'shortdoc-help-fns-examples-function)
(setopt help-enable-symbol-autoload t))
And to eliminate (require 'pulse) from the second section:
(require 'pulse) ; since `pulse' does not autoload `pulse-delay' and
; `pulse-iterations'.
(defun flash-line-around-point (&rest _)
"Flash the line around point."
(let ((pulse-iterations 16)
(pulse-delay 0.1))
(pulse-momentary-highlight-one-line (point))))
(dolist (command '(scroll-up-command
scroll-down-command
recenter-top-bottom
other-window))
(advice-add command :after #'flash-line-around-point))
Regards -- Gerard

Done, thanks.
