That depends on how you want to call your feature. Note that once a
feature is `provide'd, a `require' of that feature does nothing. Quoting
from the docs:
require is a built-in function in ‘C source code’.
(require FEATURE &optional FILENAME NOERROR)
If feature FEATURE is not loaded, load it from FILENAME.
If FEATURE is not a member of the list ‘features’, then the
feature is not loaded; so load the file FILENAME.

Yes, that'd be a way to do it (in theory you could have one file
providing several features, for example).

I don't quite understand your last sentence. What is it you are trying
to shorten -- and how?
