Subject: bug#15112: 24.3; package.el byte compile autoloads
Date: Sat, 17 Aug 2013 11:04:50 +1000

When package.el installs a file, the foo-autoloads.el which it creates
is not byte compiled.  I hoped that it would be, because doing so allows
the dynamic docstrings stuff to leave possibly big docstrings on disk
until required.

I see package-autoload-ensure-default-file contains

    ";; no-byte-compile: t\n"

which is perhaps copied from autoload-rubric.  Perhaps it could omit
that to allow byte compile.

I have presumed no-byte-compile in loaddefs is for the benefit of emacs'
own loaddefs which are dumped.  Perhaps for everyone else the default
rubric could allow byte compiling.
