This will surely cause hard-to-explain bugs in older installations as
the xemacs-base version diverges from the old core version. (I think
in this case the syntax error will be easy to interpret, but suppose
later changes involve an incorrect result, not a syntax error?)
The point of the "back-to-the-future" package is to ensure warnings or
errors when the packaged version is unavailable.
