I believe john say same thing, leaf and use-package have the
feature to generate `defvar` and `declare-function` to prevent
warnings in byte compiling. So my init.el also uses flycheck,
but there are no warnings. References to undefined
functions/variables are shown as usual, and the warnings are very
useful.
```
(macroexpand-1
'(leaf server
:doc "Lisp code for GNU Emacs running as server process"
:defvar server-temp-file-regexp
:defun server-running-p
:config
(setq server-temp-file-regexp
(rx-to-string `(or (regexp ,server-temp-file-regexp) ".DS_Store") t))
(unless (server-running-p)
(server-start))))
;;=> (prog1 'server
;; (declare-function server-running-p "server")
;; (defvar server-temp-file-regexp)
;; (setq server-temp-file-regexp
;; (rx-to-string `(or (regexp ,server-temp-file-regexp) ".DS_Store") t))
;; (unless (server-running-p)
;; (server-start)))
(let ((byte-compile-current-file "bar"))
(macroexpand-1
'(use-package server
:defines server-temp-file-regexp
:functions server-running-p
:config
(setq server-temp-file-regexp
(rx-to-string `(or (regexp ,server-temp-file-regexp) ".DS_Store") t))
(unless (server-running-p)
(server-start)))))
;;=> (progn
;; (eval-and-compile
;; (defvar server-temp-file-regexp)
;; (declare-function server-running-p "server")
;; (eval-when-compile
;; (with-demoted-errors "Cannot load server: %S"

;; (require 'server nil nil)

;; (rx-to-string `(or (regexp ,server-temp-file-regexp) ".DS_Store") t))

;; t)
```
I've also compared leaf and use-package.
- The leaf has document keywords such as :doc. The advantage of
this is that the text is easier to recognize than the comments
due to the color scheme. In addition, other packages can use
the strings specified by this keyword.
- The :defines of use-package becomes a :defvar in the leaf.
It's very analogous to defvar, considering that defvar prevents
warnings on variable references.
- A :function of use-package is a :defun in the leaf. It is a
function version of :defvar to suppress function warnings.
There is a possibility of misunderstanding because there're no
actual `defun`, but it's an acceptable confusion compared to
the disadvantage of not knowing whether `:defines` are
variables or functions.
- use-package has an expression that is secretly output only
during byte-compilation. In this case, if
`byte-compile-current-file` is nil, then `:defines` and
`:functions` will not output any expressions. This makes
debugging difficult; leaf does not have this feature. It's
consistent.
- use-package will add a `t` to the use-package's own return
value, as shown in this example, to make the overall return
value to `t`, while sometimes returning a set right-hand side
value. This is a confusion, and the leaf solves it; the return
value returned by the leaf is always a symbol of the first
argument.
###
Sample init.el I tested. We (I and john) want to remove this
bootstrap code.
```
;;; init.el --- Sample clean init.el -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
;; ~/.debug.emacs.d/leaf-byte-compile/init.el
;; you can run like 'emacs -q -l ~/.debug.emacs.d/leaf-byte-compile/init.el'
(when load-file-name
(setq user-emacs-directory
(expand-file-name (file-name-directory load-file-name))))
(eval-when-compile
(setq user-emacs-directory
(expand-file-name (file-name-directory default-directory))))
(eval-and-compile
(prog1 "leaf"
(custom-set-variables
'(package-archives '(("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/")
("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/"))))
(package-initialize)
(unless (package-installed-p 'leaf)
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'leaf))))
