Lisp_Subr's have an intspec field (4), but I agree it's not really
essential.  As I think you mentioned in the OP, supporting `declare' (5)
is not doable by definition (because the effects of 'declare' operate on
the symbol, not the function object).

Docstrings containing null or non-Unicode characters (6) just seems
completely pointless to me.  Are there any cases using that capability
in Emacs (or outside Emacs)?  I would probably consider them as bugs.
