The other things that were `require'd were for compilation warnings.
I don't think it's `right' to remove them.

This bizarre sort of response is hardly the way to encourage people to
report bugs. This was just a broken change.

If so, it was harmless. You check such a guess by commenting out and
looking at the compiler warnings, which I've done often enough. When
it says that `case' is undefined and that t is called as a function,
obviously the guess was wrong. Anyway, we already did this sort of
job during Emacs 21 development, but only for cleanliness.

Then you have to maintain the comments...

If you mean you're compiling multiple files in one Emacs session and
especially looking at compiler messages, then don't do that. It's
important to compile things separately, as the makefile targets do.
