This is kind of what I wanted.

I have a machine with tons-o-memory.  I want every function that gets
compiled to have the arglist set to the names *I* use in the function
definition.  In the case of methods, I suppose the most general would be
appropriate.  At this point, I have surmised that there is no switch
that I can flip to make this happen.

I think I can hack the eval-function and eval-buffer commands to do the
right thing.

Thanks,
