I looked at the help text for defadvice and followed the link to Info (a 
very useful link!). In the help text I found nothing about defadvice 
usage in Emacs. The text in Info says "This is a clean method for a 
library to customize functions defined within Emacs--cleaner than 
redefining the whole function". Maybe it should be pointed out somewhere 
that this should not be used within Emacs itself?

Viper also has a lot of defadvice. It might be necessary in the case of 
viper, I do not know.
