Oops, wrong set function.  It's:

   ;; Expand and treat as function op:
   (easy-mmode-define-global-mode
     define-global-minor-mode
     define-globalized-minor-mode
     easy-mmode-define-minor-mode
     define-minor-mode cl-defun
     cl-defmacro)

Makes sense.

I will work up a patch using this approach unless you'd like to (will be
a few days min).  I think we are in agreement that a simple (autoload
macroexpand) will suffice.  We could leave list 2 as-is for now, with a
note that it can be trimmed once `declare' for list 1 is fully
operational.

Probably would also need to loop in package authors, e.g. for transient,
to ensure they are aware of the change.
