+** Keep package.el from changing my init

+   Some time ago my init file was changed by Emacs. It added a single
+   line of code and some explanatory comments. Apparently I need to
+   keep this comment in my initialization file so that Emacs doesn't
+   try to add the code again. I actually use [[http://cask.readthedocs.org/en/latest/][Cask]] to manage and load

+   I use Cask to manage my installed packages and for that to work I
+   need to load Cask at the start of the initialization file. This
+   should be executed both when byte-compiling and loading at run-time
+   so that other bits and pieces can byte-compile without warnings or
