24.3.50; Use of deprecated ((lambda ...) ...) form

[Sam Steingold]

byte compilation now warns

.emacs.el:46:39:Warning: Use of deprecated ((lambda ...) ...) form
.emacs.el:46:39:Warning: Use of deprecated ((lambda ...) ...) form
.emacs.el:46:39:Warning: Use of deprecated ((lambda ...) ...) form
.emacs.el:46:39:Warning: Use of deprecated ((lambda ...) ...) form
.emacs.el:1255:20:Warning: Use of deprecated ((lambda ...) ...) form
.emacs.el:1259:43:Warning: Use of deprecated ((lambda ...) ...) form

for forms like

(eval-and-compile (defvar ...))

and

(defvar (eval-and-compile ...))

why is ((lambda ...) ...) deprecated?
this is one of the oldest lisp constructs!

if it is to be deprecated, then the macros above must be modified so
that their compilation does not warn.
