+1. I consider myself fairly proficient in Elisp; I authored quitee
a few packages, some of them distributed on Github, some of them for
private use for a few people. I admit that even that I know about
compiler warnings, I never got into a habit of compiling my files. (I
know I should, but consider me as a datapoint suggesting that compiler
warnings are not enough.)
My 2 cents.
