Re: Old-style backquotes -- not?

The emacs 22.2 byte-compiler warns that this generator code (below) contains old-style backquotes. But AFAICT, the code does not contain old-style backquotes etc. at all.

Arnesi exports fun as an alias of lambda, and also provides the #L syntax, where !1 etc are arguments.

Because lambdas are fun, you see.
