Could you explain why it's needed both at run-time and compile-time?

Why is this needed at run-time?

Often I would instrument things when debugging and get errors related to
definitions not available at run-time, which is really annoying, and I
have to go and eval missing definitions by hand. This is mainly an
attempt to leave things in a development friendly state. Is there any
obvious harm in this change?


Thanks,
Fabián.

OK, that makes sense.  You could leave a short note about it, but it's
probably not worth the trouble.

No, it's just that eval-and-compile is internally a bit more tricky than
eval-when-compile, so I prefer to avoid it when possible (tho the
trickiness doesn't show up when used at top-level, so you're fine here).

And in this case it didn't seem to be needed, so I wondered if there was
some intricate business I was not aware of.
