Talking about minor proposals, I got the following message in
*Async-native-compile-log*  in one of my development branches:

/home/acm/cc-mode.hg/cc-fonts.el: Error Wrong type argument: listp, #[(form) 
(`(cdr (backquote-process ,form))) nil]

, which clearly has to do with your "minor proposal" to introduce a new
type for interpreted functions.  I really can't be bothered at the moment
to go through all the work of tracking this down, but would be grateful
nevertheless if you would fix it.

By the way, did you get any approval for this change from the current
maintainers, or did you just go ahead and commit it anyway?  I seem to
remember you sweeping aside and ignoring my "disproportionately intense
fire" on this matter, implying it would cause nobody extra work.

The error causing it might well have found it's way into the emacs-30
branch.
