The result is the same from a byte compiled command. Write (defun foo () (interactive)) in *scratch*, and C-M-x to evaluate it: (interactive-form 'foo) => (interactive). That's three different inconsistent ways of expressing "(interactive". This is a bug. For consistency's sake, two of them must be incorrect. I believe the correct one is the last of these, "(interactive)" which is after all, what appears in the Lisp sources. The fix should be relatively simple, in Finteractive_form in src/data.c -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
