+%   At 6.2.0 refactoring, we do not wait for at begin document to try to load
+%   pict2e.  Actually since 6.0.0 the default is for code-blocks to use
+%   rounded boxes, and the only reason since then to wait "at begin document"
+%   was to check if user had reverted that default and in fact pict2e was not
+%   neeeded.  But with \sphinxbox, we can not know for sure even in that case
+%   that pict2e is not needed.  And even back then it would have been possible
+%   to user to try to emploi \sphinxsetup via raw directive in document body
+%   and require some rounded corners (which was thus impossible to satisfy).
+%   Time to be much simpler and attempt unconditionally to load pict2e
+%   immediately.  This will also have advantage that we can use
+%   \@ifpackageloaded{pict2e} and not have to query and save its setting later
+%   at begin document.
