your code as a matter of some urgency. If your code uses backquotes
as documented in the Elisp manual, and compiles without warning, then
you have nothing to do in this regard. Code not following the
appropriate conventions may fail to compile. The most common cause of
trouble seems to be an old-style backquote followed by a newline.
