emacs-compat
Emacs Lisp compatibility library
To allow for the usage of Emacs functions and macros that are defined in newer versions of Emacs, compat.el provides definitions that are installed ONLY if necessary. These reimplementations of functions and macros are at least subsets of the actual implementations. Be sure to read the documentation string to make sure.
Not every function provided in newer versions of Emacs is provided here. Some depend on new features from the core, others cannot be implemented to a meaningful degree. The main audience for this library are not regular users, but package maintainers. Therefore commands and user options are usually not implemented here.
