It calls the function @code{package-initialize} to activate any
optional Emacs Lisp package that has been installed. @xref{Packaging
Basics}. However, Emacs doesn't initialize packages when
@code{package-enable-at-startup} is @code{nil} or when it's started
with one of the options @samp{-q}, @samp{-Q}, or @samp{--batch}. To
initialize packages in the latter case, @code{package-initialize}
should be called explicitly (e.g., via the @samp{--funcall} option).
