The byte-compiler already warns about using some interactive functions from the list `byte-compile-interactive-only-functions' that includes `replace-string' and `replace-regexp'. Another task would be to write a converter that will fix existing Lisp code that uses interactive functions and replace them with non-interactive constructions. Maybe some part of record-lisp.el will do this. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
