After updated to the latest version of .emacs.d, an error shows when start up.

It seems this error introduced in use-short-answers commit.

Emacs version: 28.2
Platform: Ubuntu 23.04 Gnome Wayland

It seems the 'setopt' command was introduced in Emacs 29. That may be the reason of why it shows an error in Emacs 28

Good catch, thanks — I was a bit surprised this didn't show up in CI...
