Useless: yes, costly: no, future-proof: more than without.
What do you need to doc? everything you init? And let's say you do doc
that you init eina, so the user of ecore_init sees that and doesn't init
eina himself, all is good, until ecore_init stops initing eina and that
application will break.

Eina is an extreme example because it's unlikely to be dropped, but what
about glib? glib was probably used before eina, and then one day it got
dropped. It's the same idea, in different flavor.

As I said, it doesn't really matter this time (because ffs it's eina),
but I think explicitly stating what you need (in the code) is nicer and
more obvious.
