When I tried to do this naively in byte-compile-associative, it did
not work, because the compiler does not evaluate the (fset '+ ...)
redefinition at compile-time.

Perhaps flet need a byte-compiler handler that looks at the functions
being bound in the flet, and temporarily (while the flet body is being
compiled) removes any special byte-compile properties they might have.
