Sorry, I meant "it just calls comp--native-compile on the command line
arguments".  Which is irrelevant for the proposed use case, which is
enabling normal opportunistic .eln generation, but synchronously.

I.e., if you say

emacs --batch --native-comp -l foo

and foo requires bar, then bar should be native-compiled before being
used.

So I'm not sure why you're bringing up batch-native-compile at all -- it
seems irrelevant, but perhaps I'm missing something?
