About a coding convention |

In (info "(elisp) Coding Conventions"):
* Constructs that define a function or variable should be macros,
not functions, and their names should start with `define-'. The
macro should receive the name to be defined as the first argument.
That will help various tools find the definition automatically.
Avoid constructing the names in the macro itself, since that would
confuse these tools.
I think macros like `cl-defsubst', `cl-defun' should be mentioned here.

Agreed. Since no one else has voiced an opinion, I'm therefore closing
this bug report.
