-;; `early-init.el' is new as of Emacs 27.1.  It contains ... /early initiation/.
-;; What does that mean?  Who knows.  What I /do know/ is that it runs /before/
-;; `package.el' is loaded, so I can stop it from loading, since I use `straight.el'.
-;; Other than that, there's some other init stuff that needs to happen as early
