Then I suggest to not use eval-and-compile there.  It may not cause serious
problems in practice, but it causes byte-compilation of the file to have
undesriable side effects (to the Emacs process from which you byte-compile
the file).  This is more undesirable than some spurious harmless warnings.

BTW if you want to remove warnings for code like

   (cond
     (some-condition-A
       (defun foo-A () code-for-A ))
     (t
       (defun foo-A () code-for-B)))

Then you could use

   (defalias 'foo-A
     (cond
       (some-condition-A
         (lambda () code-for-A ))
       (t
         (lambda () code-for-B))))

This makes it obvious to the byte-compiler that `foo-A' will be defined.
Admittedly, the byte-compiler only started to recognize the above form a few
days ago.

> In pr-region-test:
> test.el:13:4:Warning: attempt to inline `t' before it was defined

This was a bug in the byte-compiler which should be fixed now.

Well, I think changing them to defun was a good thing in itself since these
functions probably do not have a significant impact on performance (they
aren't used inside a loop, for one).
