There were no protests, so I've now gone ahead and done this.  This may
perhaps be controversial, but I've never understood why `C-x C-e'
shouldn't do "the obvious thing" on defvar (etc) forms, so I've done it
anyway.

However, if this somehow gets in the way of people's way of working, it
could be reversed, I guess.
