But gnus-util is a special case because it doesn't 'require any
other part of Gnus[1]; it's really a utility library.

Sorry, I don't understand this paragraph. Are you suggesting
that I put an autoload cookie on gnus-orify-regexp instead of requiring
gnus-util ? That would only merely delay the time of loading gnus-util.
Point is, I don't want to introduce redundancy for something needed both
in Gnus and in Message.

design at some point BTW)
