;; (package-initialize)			; Do NOT delete this comment
;;   In emacs 25+, the `package-initialize' call is auto-added to the top of
;; init.el unless the user already has a commented or uncommented
;; `(package-initialize)' line present in their init.el.
;;   I call this function in setup-packages.el and so am keeping the
;; commented out version here so that package.el does not add it again.
