That's true, but does it matter?

Hm...  You mean that if we have an obsolete declaration, then we alter
the defun to be (in effect)

(defun foo ()
  (with-suppressed-warnings (obsolete foo)
    ...))

That seems like a rather drastic way of doing it, I think?

Well, it didn't seem to be much trouble as the implementation already
works.  :-)
