Hi Uwe, The overlay abstraction should avoid the warnings, but perhaps the defalias isn't working with the byte compiler correctly. I don't know why those warnings exist. It may be an eval-and-compile type trick is needed around that block.
There were some other warnings in the list where I suspect we just need to move a definition sooner in the file. I think they are harmless otherwise. There are some changes from Emacsen that are pretty old, perhaps we can just claim to not support Emacs 22 or earlier. That was quite a while ago.

I'm building on Debian 8 using emacs 24.4.1 I am on GNU emacs 25 (git version, after being a die hard Xemacs user for ages). IMHO the GNU emacs team changes to much the definition of variables (which could break backward compatibility), but I don't want to change the naming of certain variable because GNU emacs 23 and Xemacs users could run into problems, not that there are many left, but... The most harmful warnings I can detect are those starting with > matlab.el:5867:1:Warning: the following functions are not known to be defined: > extent-list, start-itimer, matlab-overlays-at, matlab-overlay-get, Some of the stuff looks Xemacs specific so maybe we should wrap a (if (featurep 'xemacs) around it, Eric any ideas?
