It happens more often than not anyway, because Help functions
frequently load packages to access documentation and other
information, and loading a package native-compiles it.

I wouldn't worry about loading comp.el too much.

When this is available to non-NATIVE_COMP builds, it would maybe make
sense to split it in two, and have each part stored in a relevant
file, no?
