Thanks.  I've been a bit torn about restoring `erc-compat.el'
vs. potentially working something out with Philip's `compat.el'.
However, I suppose if we're very close to `emacs-28' being cut (as in
days ?) and if `compat.el' is currently mainly only a proposal and not
being urgently added, it would probably be better for me to go ahead
and restore `erc-compat.el' sooner rather than later (in a day or two)
and do what we already used to for ERC in the past anyway.
