`byte-recompile-directory' contains a form: "(dolist (file files)" that
calls `byte-compile-file'. As a consequence (boundp 'file) to be t when
`byte-compile-file' is called.
That's a joke on us.
The easy solution is to rename the variables in `byte-recompile-directory'
and maybe a few other relevant functions.
A deeper solution would be to get rid of the boundp test.
I'm sure it was added for a reason -- there must have been lots of
spurious warnings without that boundp test. But nowadays we have done
a lot to eliminate such warnings with defvars. Perhaps now if we get
rid of that boundp test the results would be ok.
Does someone want to try it?
