Re: Nonsensical byte compiler warning.

[Richard Stallman]

    Sure; here's a rather trivial compromise for `char-before': It makes
    the compiler rewrite calls to char-before at the time the byte-code is
    emitted instead of during the optimisation phase. This retains the
    correct function call in the warning. It can yield slightly inferior
    byte-code though (with usage-patterns that don't occur in Emacs trunk
    and are probably rather atypical).

This is a good improvement.  Would someone please install it?

                                       If you find this change advisable,
    I'll implement analogous changes for backward-char and backward-word.

Please do, and thanks.
