OK.. time for a straw-man proposal.  Assuming we were willing to say
"<expletive> the old .elc's",  what change(s) would everybody like to
see put into the .elc format?  If we're gonna break it, let's break it
ONCE and be done with it.

And yes, I realize we lose bytecode combatability with That Other Emacs.
Given the divergence, this may not be a Bad Thing...
