I've made enough progress that this should be usable by now.  One
problem I noticed is that add-log-current-defun returns "foo" for lines
like

    (require 'foo)

Which is usually not wanted.  So we might try to make
add-log-current-defun a bit more discriminating, although missing
definitions might be more annoying than false positives.
