Silencing incorrect warnings is a good thing.  But it's not a priority
and most importantly, is less important than keeping code simple.

So the `fset' hack is a really bad idea, just like the tramp-let-maybe.
Better live with warnings than with such contraptions.

Adding `declare-function' is not that big a problem since it doesn't
make code more complex, but if you don't like it, don't use it.

This said, if you have a need for *many* declare-function, then maybe
the problem is elsewhere and you should report it (maybe Emacs could be
more clever about how to detect when a warning is needed).
