That's worrying. Isn't the code in ELPA newer code than in the core? If you found four occurrences merely by grepping, there could well be quite a few more. In the last one, for example, can we be sure that nil is intended, not that the real argument has just been missed out? Is there a way of building the entire repository in batch mode? I've not had anything to do with ELPA, as yet. Where do I find the address of its repository? Maybe having the byte compiler error out in this situation isn't such a brilliant idea after all. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
