ISTR that we declared interactive-p obsolete because it is an not a
correct solution to the problem it is meant to solve.
The correct solution is to give the function an optional argument
and an interactive spec which provides a non-nil value for that argument
in interactive calls.
There are cases where that gives the right answer,
while interactive-p gives the wrong answer.
The point is, you really should change each of those functions
so that it will not misbehave in those special situations.
