But wait, this is in lisp-mode.el which I remember is used not only for
Elisp but also for other Lisps, right?  So your patch could make things
worse for editing Common Lisp, for example.

For Elisp the heuristic doesn't make much sense, though, if the edited
file is not loaded, it also prevents false negatives for macro uses of
macros defined in that file.
