I don't have much to add, but I appreciate the initiative here.
Maintaining elisp between versions of Emacs can add a lot of noise to
an already noisy language.

Glad to here that. My main intention is just to get any package
authors interested in using a library like this to say what they would
and wouldn't like to see.

Not direclty related, but after commit
fbfbe3db89e0e1fdcecf2123f3574eb5a595524b, requiring compat always
throws me this error, regardless of Emacs version.
`(error "Duplicate compatibility definition: proper-list-p")`.

I guess something is off with the version-checking code path, for me
`compat--proper-list-p-length-signal` (min 26.1, max 26.3) was defined
before the error even on Emacs 24.3.

This issue should have been resolved.
