I think the modules' `initialize' functions are called by whatever part
of Eshell loads the modules, but I'm not certain.  This is one of the
yet-to-be-documented parts of Eshell.

Yes, if the feature `em-tramp' is loaded but the module is not enabled,
then it is just taking up memory and doing nothing.  And, yes, this is a
problem with Eshell modules in general, and ERC modules, from what I can
tell.  I really have no idea what a better solution would be.

(I CC'd this message to emacs-devel, because it seems more general now
and less about one particular commit.)
