+;;; emacs-lisp-file-regexp Regexp for the extension of source-files;
;;; see also the function byte-compile-dest-file.
;;; New Features:
;;; o The form `eval-and-compile' is similar to eval-when-compile, but
;;; the whole form is evalled both at compile-time and at run-time.
;;;
-;;; o The command Meta-X byte-compile-and-load-file does what you'd think.
-;;; (This command has been discontinued.)
-;;;
;;; o The command compile-defun is analogous to eval-defun.
;;;
;;; o If you run byte-compile-file on a filename which is visited in a
;;; buffer, and that buffer is modified, you are asked whether you want
;;; to save the buffer before compiling.
;;;
-;;; o You can add this to /etc/magic to make file(1) recognise the files
-;;; generated by this compiler:
-;;;
-;;; 0 string ;ELC GNU Emacs Lisp compiled file,
-;;; >4 byte x version %d
-;;;
+;;; o byte-compiled files now start with the string `;ELC'.
+;;; Some versions of `file' can be customized to recognize that.
