   The patch below implements the desired feature: it byte-compiles the
   default-value-expression (first part of the hunk) as well as any
   keyword arguments (second part of the hunk)

I did not try the patch, but I can not see how this would _not_ ruin
the "Show Saved Lisp Expression" feature in the State buttons in
Custom buffers by showing byte code instead of Lisp code that the user
can edit.  Does it not?

   FWIW the size of a tar file containing all the elc files in emacs went
   from 29511680 to 29491200 after this patch.  Not the best metric, but it
   shows that the patch has some impact.

I do not know whether the "some impact" above was meant seriously or
ironically, but the "impact" is less than 0.07 percent, that is, for
all practical purposes inexistent.  Definitely not worth ruining a
feature for.

Sincerely,

Luc Teirlinck.
