Package: emacs
Version: 28.0.50
Severity: wishlist
I noticed statements like these in loaddefs.el, and found the quoting of
the final WHEN argument a bit unexpected:
(make-obsolete 'gnus-intersection 'seq-intersection '"28.1")
I guess it is because of how byte-run--set-obsolete (and friends) is defined.
Does it need to quote the `when' argument, since `when' is documented to
be a string?

Grepping through the tree, we seem to have no non-string `when's, so
removing the ' should be safe.
We could also tweak things like
(function-put 'defmethod 'doc-string-elt '3)
I guess...

Indeed, this should also refrain from quoting.

It's not a matter of being a string or not, but whether it is a
self-evaluating expression or not.

I've now changed it to not quote the when in Emacs 29 -- doesn't seem to
have any odd side effects as far as I can tell.
