RE: [Bug] (defun foo) during compilation defines `foo' as 0-arg ` igno re'

Hm, maybe my message was a bit unclear.  The point of my bug report
(otherwise, it would be a feature request) was that (defun foo) does NOT
SIGNAL an ERROR when used inside `eval-when-compile'.

Then it would be as bad as (defun foo) inside `eval-when-compile'...

At least the XEmacs byte compile would still warn about `foo' not being
defined...
