-;;; this needs to happen first -- speed up init
+;;; Commentary:
+;; `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
+;; as possible -- think bootstrap-level.
