How about.. `do-in-emacs', `do-in-xemacs', `do-in-sxemacs', and
`with-emacs-type', and change the symbol in `with-emacs-type' from `gnu'
to `emacs'. Would that be better?
Those names are ok. We could install them with those names.
However, Stefan wrote:
The advantage over a macro is that the elisp code will work regardless of
whether this optimization is implemented (it only affects byte-compiler
warnings anyway), so it's trivially backward&forward compatible.
This is a good argument for _using_ featurep rather than the macros.
That doesn't mean we can't also install the macros. But maybe you
will agree it is better to use featurep.
