Philip will give you a more concrete answer, but according to the 
documentation:

```
Requires: ((emacs "24.4") (compat "29.1.4.2"))

   There is no need to depend on ‘emacs 24.4’ specifically.  One 
   can
choose any newer version, if features not provided by Compat 
necessitate
it, for example bug fixes or UI improvements.

   In any file where compatibility forms are used, a

     (require 'compat)

   should be added early on.  In packages which are part of Emacs 
   itself
and which want to take advantage of Compat, the ‘noerror’ flag 
should be
specified: ‘(require 'compat nil 'noerror)’.  In the future a 
minimal
version of Compat may be added to the Emacs core, such that the
‘noerror’ flag will not be necessary anymore.
```

Not sure, but maybe something like this is a valid use case?

``` emacs-lisp
(compat-call defvar-keymap yeetube-mode-map
	     :doc "Keymap for yeetube commands"
	     "RET" #'yeetube-play
             ...
```
