The warning
  Source file `...' newer than byte-compiled file
isn't clear about which one ends up getting used.

It should say
  Source file `...' newer than byte-compiled file, using it.

Wait, that isn't clear either.
It should say
  Source file `...' newer than byte-compiled file, using the former / or
  / using the latter / or something like that.

"using newer .el" or "using older .elc"

That's a good point.  I realised that I wasn't 100% sure myself what
Emacs actually does in these cases, but it seems like it's using the
(older) .elc file.  I've now made it say so.
