Looking on the xemacs-patches followups, you can see I don't like it
much myself---but you can see in autoloads.el that I wasn't the first to
add package-specific keywords.  Doing this right requires making the
list somehow extensible, and putting the extensions in xemacs-base.  I
doubt this is worth it until the count of keywords reaches, say, 20.
