I seem to remember that one of the motivations for trying it out had to
do with having an `;;;###autoload` cookie on a piece of code which used an
autoloaded macro, so loading `loaddef.el` would cause (auto)loading the
package which provides the macro.

Byte compiling `loaddefs.el` was a way to fix this problem.
