I can't believe I'm doing that, but: this hunk is wrong!
`byte-compile` takes source code as input, not values. It does go to
the trouble of trying to handle the case where we pass it a function
value that's not yet compiled because it's an important use-case in
practice, but it's better to avoid it since the above means that we'll
first turn '(lambda () ()) into a closure object which `byte-compile`
then has to convert back to something like (lambda () ()).

(Also it's advertised in its docstring.)

Ah okay. I admit the main reason I thought the hunk was okay is because
(byte-compile (lambda ())) and (byte-compile '(lambda ())) produce the
same byte-code.
Thanks for catching that, now reverted.
