I'd have no problems cutting support for emacs <23 or even <24, but
cutting support for XEmacs is something which I'd prefer not to do
without extremely good reasons although that would make life much more
easy.

Yes, I know. But having non-prefixed (defvar name) etc just looks so
damn wrong.

At least I couldn't find one in the customize UI but maybe you're right.

No, sure. And macroexpanding in dynamic-binding wouldn't make it the
same with byte-compilation in lexical-binding. But still it would
eliminate the (void-function some-macro) error at load-time. There's
also an issue from 2011 about the very same thing:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9712
But I can also see the good thing about the current behavior. It
consistently fails on all Emacs/XEmacs versions (if dynamic-binding is
in use and not something else loaded, e.g., cl, before the file in
question).
