Ah. The issue comes from the fact that `require` is treated specially
by the byte compiler, so if you define `org-require-with-shadowcheck` as
a function it indeed won't do quite the same as `require`.
The way `require` is treated specially by the byte-compiler only affects
top-level uses (making them behave as if they're wrapped inside
`eval-and-compile`). So you want to use `eval-and-compile` only for
those `require`s that are at top-level.
Personally, I'd only change those `require`s that load `org-macs`, which
should be enough to cover almost all cases (and I wouldn't just
silently reload the file, but I'd also emit a warning explaining that
we detected a bad situation and using a workaround since that
workaround is not 100% reliable anyway).
