- We currently don't put the `provide' form, the local variable definitions and other "stuff that goes at the end" into a dedicated "back matter" section. Instead we put these things at the end whatever other completely unrelated section happens to come last in the file.
In my own libraries I name that section "_" and (beside the things just mentioned that have to go there because they have to be placed near the end of the file) I also use it for "administrative things", like adding functions to third-party hooks, test definitions, font-lock keyword definitions for forms defined across the file.
Since we normally put stuff that has side-effects (other than definitions) in the end of a package (provide, hooks, etc) maybe we can call it ;;; Side effect or simply ;;; Effect? Or Something in the same line.
