Please excuse the digression, but is the reasoning for this
documented somewhere?  I couldn't find anything related in the elisp
manual or the `lambda' docstring, though I did find the warning
about quoted lambda forms not being compiled in `byte-compile-fset'.
Are there other reasons that might affect even uncompiled code?
