Function definition is not side effect when load library is requested. 
However it is a side effect of hitting TAB in Emacs help prompt. 
Completion of a variable or a function should not modify Org behavior. 
Loading of a file is not explicitly requested by the user in this case.

I would disregard however function definitions, however changes in key 
bindings and recognized plain text links may be surprising to users who 
just tries to read help.
