If it works I think it should be equivalent at that point.  But at the
moment is not so trivial to identify this condition as we have no clear
marker of it.

The current invocation for compilations is just like:

emacs --batch -l sometmpfile.el

I don't know if we have some other option for adding a marker other than
the most obvious (the dedicated flag).
