+*** Option to automatically native-compile packages upon installation.
+Customize the user option 'package-native-compile' to enable automatic
+native compilation of packages when they are installed. That option
+is nil by default; if set non-nil, and if your Emacs was built with
+native-compilation support, each package will be natively compiled
+when it is installed, by invoking an asynchronous Emacs subprocess to
+run the native-compilation of the package files.
