Yes. Will that be handled properly by the following (with global
deferred loading)?

(use-package foo :after bar
 :config (foo-setup)
 )
(use-package bar :after baz
 # :demand t
)
(use-package baz)

In particular, use-package will ensure foo-setup is called after foo is
loaded, right? If I uncommented the :demand, should/would that make a
difference?

I may be overthinking this because of my org-ac issue and this looked
like an obvious debugging approach.
