GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of
2013-03-13 on bob.porkrind.org

It gives me this info:

,----
| with-silent-modifications is a Lisp macro in `subr.el'.

| (with-silent-modifications &rest BODY)
| 
| Execute BODY, pretending it does not modify the buffer.

| This macro will run BODY normally, but doesn't count its buffer

I have a subr.elc and subr.el.gz, and it is in there.

Just for clarification: I am using emacs from emacsformacosx.com on
Mountai Lion.
