And the code that raises that error has this comment:
(cond
((special-form-p def)
;; Not worth the trouble trying to handle this, I think.
(error "Advice impossible: %S is a special form" symbol))
"I think"? That does not justify this regression.
It was worth the trouble before it was broken, i.e., for a
couple of decades. Why go to the "trouble" of breaking it?
