The byte-compiler is not loaded by default. The (defadvice ... (... compile)...) in bar.el makes the difference. So, the presence of `compile' in one defadvice turns on byte-compilation for subsequent defadvices - IOW, it's modal? I don't see that explained anywhere. > But I guess the `compile' FLAG for defadvice acts like the COMPILE > arg to ad-activate in this regard (not mentioned in the doc string). > Is that correct? It seems so. Does that COMPILE arg also turn on a byte-compilation mode that stays on until turned off? That too is not documented, AFAICT.
