Ah yep, so I see.  Now I'm just confused :o)  It seems that in CVS, the
defmacro code in eval.c should remove the (declare ...) form well before
it has the chance to appear in any macro expansions, and in pre-CVS, the
`with-current-buffer' macro doesn't include a (declare ...) form at all.
Either way, I'm not sure how it could be causing problems.

The version of planner I have doesn't seem to use (declare ...) in any
of its own macros.  Is `with-current-buffer' definitely the place it's
turning up?

Cheers,

Mark
