I disagree: `fset' is meant to *change* the function-slot
of a symbol, not to initialize it.  So it's use shouldn't be treated by
the byte-compiler as a declaration.  Insted, the byute-compiler should
complain about the use of `fset' on an unknown function similarly to the
use of `set(q)' on an unknown variable.
