* erc-backend.el: Require `erc' instead of autoloading its macros
;; There's a fairly strong mutual dependency between erc.el and erc-backend.el.
;; Luckily, erc.el does not need erc-backend.el for macroexpansion whereas the
;; reverse is true:
-(provide 'erc-backend)
-(require 'erc)
+(eval-when-compile (provide 'erc-backend) (require 'erc))
