Isn't? Because the `no-byte-compile' variable (which has been in loaddefs.el for as long as I can remember) has only been obeyed by bytecomp.el recently. Why did people use DONTCOMPILE instead of fixing bytecomp.el, I do not know. > Would it be OK to add Local Variables sections to those .el files? Of course, Stefan
