There are currently 27 bytecompiler warnings in a full build of XEmacs 21.5 (and it's only that many because we're lazy, I know how to fix at least half of them). There simply is no need for such a thing in XEmacs. I'll be putting these in the xemacs-base package shortly, as feature 'bytedecl, so they'll be available to XEmacs 21.4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (defmacro with-boundp (variables &rest body) "Evaluate BODY, but do not issue bytecomp warnings about VARIABLES undefined.
