I'm not, but I can look into it.

This would be a different approach for tackling the same problem. Question is,
do we want the explicit argument types in each function, and more work for
make-docfile, or keep things simple for make-docfile and macro-expand the
argument name list into appropriate declarations? The set of macros would
basically be parallel to the existing DEFUN_ARGS_* macros, except with names to
substitute.

Either leave the arg list unspecified, or we have to do a bunch of casting; I
don't think there are any other options...
