I of course strongly recommend against this style, since it naturally leads
to duplication of settings.
Just use `fboundp' or `boundp' where needed, or `ignore-errors'.
This way you have a single file to manage and you know the configuration
will be as close as possible between the different Emacs versions you
may use.
