    As the code currently stands, this goes into infinite recursion
    when c-beginning-of-defun calls beginning-of-defun (likewise for
    end-of-defun{,-function}).  I've fixed this locally by
    let-binding {beginning,end}-of-defun-function, which seems like a
    reasonable solution (attached).

Of course, this change requires implementing c-beginning-of-defun
appropriately for this new design.  The real question is whether it
has some other bad effect.
