In function definitions, doc strings, `declare` and `interactive` forms are each optional but must appear in that order and duplications are not permitted. Many violations against these rules go undetected.

The attached patch adds checks to `defun` and `defmacro`. Violations result in compilation warnings but it could be changed into hard errors if desired. It also accepts `(:documentation EXPR)` as alternative to a doc string literal, which currently doesn't work i all cases.

Applying it reveals a handful of mistakes in the Emacs source tree, and in some external packages.

This is most welcome -- I can never remember myself what the order of
declare and interactive is.

Come offer your free labor to Commercial Emacs.  We rectified
(and test!) the byte-compiler line annotations without vitiating the
Lisp implementation with BASE_EQ, which I know you've wasted time on.

That's nice, but why don't you just `#define BASE_EQ EQ` and avoid gratuitous divergence from the GNU tree and save yourself some time (as well as avoiding future merge conflicts)?

Ha, I considered that but the marginal cost of symbols-with-positions
conflicts wasn't sufficiently high to introduce `#define BASE_EQ EQ`.

We knew it'd be a tough sell to OG devs to turn their backs on GNU, but
we had to try.

So long as non-free software exists, we shall continue the fight (since
our operations rely on such non-free software).

Same here (which prompted the patch). A slightly updated version has now been pushed to master.

There's the possibility of making the parsing more tolerant with respect to ordering, and possibly allow multiple `declare` forms. It would be easy enough.
