The need for `declare` is infrequent.
The use of a single `cl-defmethod` is infrequent.
The intersection of the two should be small enough that I don't see
a good reason to care if it's slightly less convenient than ideal.
But I'm only arguing to defend my choice not to implement it: don't let
that stop you from doing the work :-)
