By the way: you might want to reconsider your use of function overrides
in your *+.el packages. That's about the riskiest possible thing to do
from a compatibility perspective, and it's impossible to maintain
compatibility with packages that work like this. I know you want to run
on older versions of Emacs, but it'd be better to contribute these
changes to the core.
