(See the > various compiler macro definitions in cl-macs.el) Yup. That's why I want the byte-code, not the functions themselves. And it can be done. gnus-cl.el could be a kinda large `eval-when-compile' form that contained a macro that would return a big (progn (defaliast 'gnus-delete-duplicates #[(cl-seq &rest cl-keys) "byte code removed" [cl-delete-duplicates cl-seq cl-keys nil] 4 596479] Er. But the cl functions call other cl functions. Er. Uhm. Hm. Can I alter the contents of the byte-compiled function to call the Gnus functions instead?

I don't > think anyone will notice the difference. I think it's mainly a name-pollution thing for RMS. Having `delete-duplicates' in the namespace will make people believe that's a proper Emacs function and stuff. But I can ask him again. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
