You should simply wrap this around the code that uses the functions and macros in GROUP. Typically, a call to `compat' should be placed at the top of an ELisp module, with the closing parenthesis at the bottom; use this in place of a `require' statement. Wrapped code can be either function or macro definitions or other ELisp code, and wrapped function or macro definitions need not be at top level. All calls to the compatibility functions or macros will be noticed anywhere within the wrapped code. Calls to `fboundp' within the wrapped code will also behave correctly when called on compatibility functions and macros, even though they would return nil elsewhere (including in code in other modules called dynamically from the wrapped code). The functions and macros define in GROUP are actually defined under prefixed names, to avoid namespace clashes and bad interactions with other code that calls `fboundp'. All calls inside of the wrapped code to the compatibility functions and macros in GROUP are lexically mapped to the prefixed names. Since this is a lexical mapping, code in other modules that is called by functions in this module will not be affected."
