Is walnut-summarize useful as an interactive command?  Its only purpose is
to be used from the command line.  I think making it available via M-x or
key bindings would only be so much clutter.

What if this hypothetical -walnut-run option could accept either a
filename or a directory name as its argument?  When a directory was given,
it would load *.js from that directory.  Would that also address the other
questions you posted about the deprecation of load_rc?
