Be able to specify the output directory for *.elc files to `byte-compile-file'. See this emacs.SE question: http://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/13596/105. This could be done by adding an optional arg, but to let users take advantage of it interactively the current prefix-arg behavior would need to be split. E.g., numeric value <=3D 0 could mean prompt for the output dir; numeric value >=3D 0 could mean also load the byte-compiled file. That would not hurt any existing code that passed a non-nil and non-numeric second arg. Another possibility would be to define another command for this, e.g., `byte-compile-file-to-directory'. 2. Let commands such as `dired-do-byte-compile' (hence function `dired-byte-compile') support this also, e.g. by a particular prefix-arg value that does not conflict (much) with the current prefix-arg behavior. For example, plain `C-u' - a user can still use `M-4' to get the current `C-u' behavior. 3. In addition, maybe provide a way (e.g. option) for users to specify a default value for the directory. #1 and #2 would provide this as the default when you are asked to specify the output dir. =20 In GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2015-05-29 on LEG570 Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601 Configured using: `configure --prefix=3D/mingw32 --host=3Di686-pc-mingw32 --enable-checking=3Dyes,glyphs'
