OK, thanks.  But I wonder why you treated defvar differently from defconst,
defconstant, defcustom, defparameter, and define-symbol-macro here.  Shouldn't
the same thing apply to them?

Just wondering.  Not that their use of a vacuous definition would mean the same
thing, or even necessarily by correct syntax.  But shouldn't a vacuous
definition using one of those others also be ignored by Imenu?
