I doubt it very much. The trouble only happens at preloading time, and nobody is ever going to be compressing the files.elc that get preloaded. And if they did want to do this, there would be other workarounds. In fact, there are already several (many?) workarounds in place for preloading files, so another one wouldn't make much odds. >Autoloading jka-compr-load-suffixes might also be a solution, if >allowing for future multilingual text in "jka-cmpr-hook" would be a real >issue. Just as a side issue, what does the prefix "jka-" signify? Is that the author's initials? >Sincerely, >Luc. -- Alan.
