Thanks for digging into this 🙏

This will prevent auctex.el from being byte-compiled, right?  If so, we
could also probably take the other approach and do:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/auctex.el b/auctex.el
index 2f7af507..cd73f256 100644
--- a/auctex.el

which seems easier to me ("easier" is in the eye of beholder, of course
;-)

Best, Arash
