It appears to be a bug fix - eval-defun now does what the doc string
says (evaluate the function surrounding point, or the one after point).

For point outside a defun, the behaviour in Emacs 22 was somewhat
heuristic - compile the previous defun if point is on the same line as
that defun's closing paren, else compile the following defun, if any,
else the previous defun.  I think this is reasonable behaviour  ;-)
