retitle 14422 Apply eager-macroexpansion everywhere (eval-region, ...)
thanks

Indeed, that's part of the reason why I introduced this "eager
macroexpansion", which makes it that my previous foo.el test now behaves
identically whether it's byte-compiled or not.

The behavior is still different in a few other cases (where eager macro
expansion is not performed, typically M-C-x and things like that), but
I hope to reduce/eliminate them at some point.
