I've reverted a few whitespace changes (together with an unintentional
deletion of a condition-case in comp.el).

Most of the the WS changes were actually due to semantic changes, e.g. by
enclosing a block of forms in an extra (let ....).

It can help to use the -b flag in git diff (or indeed in diff itself),
e.g.

    git diff -b master..feature/named-lambdas
