+;; Another similar option to `:init' is `:idle'. Like `:init' this always run,
+;; however, it does so when Emacs is idle at some time in the future after
+;; load. This is particularly useful for convienience minor modes which can be
+;; slow to load. For instance, in this case, I want Emacs to always use
+;; `global-pabbrev-mode'. `:commands' creates an appropriate autoload; `:idle'
+;; will run this command at some point in the future. If you start Emacs and
+;; beginning typing straight-away, loading will happen eventually.

+;; Idle functions are run in the order in which they are evaluated. If you
+;; have many, it may take sometime for all to run. `use-package' will always
+;; tell you if there is an error in the form which can otherwise be difficult
+;; to debug. It may tell you about functions being eval'd, depending on the
+;; value of `use-package-verbose'. Other good candidates for `:idle' are
