    In toplevel form:
    files.el:31:1:Error: Symbol’s value as variable is void: =

Line 31 has this:

(eval-when-compile
  (require 'pcase)
  (require 'easy-mmode)) ; For `define-minor-mode'.

So to narrow it down, I tried changing to

(eval-when-compile
  (require 'pcase))
(eval-when-compile
  (require 'easy-mmode)) ; For `define-minor-mode'.

But then the problem disappeared.  I have no idea if this fixes
anything, or it just covered up the problem until next time.
