Hi all,
I see some places in the above files where purecopy is called. But:
Pure storage is allocated only while temacs is loading the standard
preloaded Lisp libraries.
(...)
— Function: purecopy object (...)
This function is a no-op except while Emacs is being built and dumped;
it is usually called only in preloaded Lisp files.
I take this to mean that `purecopy' can only be useful in elisp files
that Emacs preloads during compilation, but not in ruby-mode, python, or
any third-party libraries. Is that true?
Can we remove its uses from non-preloaded packages?

Autoloads end up in loaddefs.el, which is preloaded.

Ah, I see, thanks.
I'll take this to mean that I should convert the recent addition of
Rakefile to auto-mode-alist to use purecopy, too.
