Yes, what I've said is silly, but hopefully what I've done isn't.  When running
in the old mode, as for Emacs 21, Emacs can't tell if the macro expands to a
function, so turns off tooltips.  In the new mode, it checks to see if the
macro expands to a function and if so, doesn't try to print its value (which
would call abort () in this case).
