The guard is theoretically there so that a user can define his own custom
overrides for each of the guarded functions and simply arrange to have his
own functions autoloaded. Thus when _cvs is autoloaded, it won't override
the user's existing autoloads for those functions.
In practice I find that all it does is annoy me when I'm debugging, by
making `unfunction _cvs; autoload -U _cvs' insufficient to reload all the
related functions.
