:-).  That wasn't my bit of code, I just had to reindent it.  It dates
from a time before using #' became fashionable.  Maybe there's something
to be said for replacing all such uses (or which there are 15) in the
file.

On a more serious note, given how there's potential for `funcall' to
segfault (without my latest proposed fix), perhaps I should go through
the entire byte compiler checking for similar occurrences.

On another note, I've managed to byte compile elpa, and there are indeed
three occurrences of bad `setq's, like you said.  There were
byte-compiler errors (which aborted the compilation) in packages elcs,
and rudel-mode, so there just might be more in there.
