Nice. (Should've been obvious, I guess.) Er, I did briefly entertain the
idea of someone on 29 accidentally loading something that happened to
also be called compat, but that seems rather far-fetched and likely
benign besides.

No reason to rush things on ERC's account, although I appreciate the
gesture. Whenever you're ready is totally fine. I could also just
restore that `decode-time-period' adapter in my POC patch if you're
thinking we ought to bring this to emacs-devel before the next release
cycle.
