Not official by any means, but I'd suggest `declare` be used for new Lisp functions and set the properties for C functions in byte-opt for now.

There is a considerable legacy, mind, and it's probably not worth changing all of it right away. If there turns out to be a more substantial benefit from doing so then someone working on the byte-compiler will deal with it.
