I'm not sure we're understanding each other.  I can understand having
the functions in core in 21.5, plus a version in packages using
defun-when-void for 21.4.  What I'm saying is that there should only be
*one* copy in packages, for use by all the packages.  But your patches
introduce duplicates in gnus, xemacs-base, misc-games, etc.  Instead,
put one copy in xemacs-base (case-table.el?  new file?), and all the
other packages can use that copy, yeah?
