Thanks.

May I suggest that we use something other than "GEN" for
byte-compiling Lisp files?  "GEN" is not entirely accurate for that,
and we already have too many "GEN"s for other kinds of generated
files, like producing Info manuals, for example.

Guile uses "GUILEC", so perhaps we could use "BYTEC" or "ELC".
