One case is if the user customized byte-compile-generate-call-tree to
a non-nil, non-t value.

Another case is when package-quickstart was somehow modified by the
time you invoke this.

And there could be others, I didn't look into all the functions and
subroutines it calls.  In general, interactive commands expect to be
able to communicate with the user, and so running them in another
thread could be problematic.
