 [PATCH] byte-compiler warnings about destructive functions

        [ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider
        [ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,
        [ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example.

    It covers the basic functions that can perform in-place data structure 
    modification: lists, strings, vectors and other arrays, symbol properties.

Why cater to such a weird style preference?  It would require
continuing work to maintain.  Someone who wants to do this
can easily write a function to search for the function names he wants
to avoid using.
