I am afraid, requirement that loading should not cause side effects is 
too strict and it will make usage inconvenient. Examples:
- ol-info calls `org-link-set-parameters'.
- org-protocol installs an advice for `server-visit-files'. (It should 
not be necessary, but currently Emacs does not provide a better option.)

However I agree that it is undesired when attempt to call interactive 
help causes side effects. I would say that in such cases loading of 
packages should be sandboxed and should not propagate to global scope.
