   I've started getting an "Unknown requested feature: nil" message when

   I don't know what caused it. The below change makes the message go  
   away, but it's quite possibly not the right fix.

That `:require nil' came from the following change by Stefan Monnier
on 2002-09-13:

     * simple.el: Provide `simple'.
     (transient-mark-mode, line-number-mode, column-number-mode):
     Pass an explicit `:require nil' argument.

I do not know the reason for that change.  Apart from the listed
variables, size-indication-mode also has the `:require nil' (also in
simple.el).

Sincerely,
