    Because I want to specify the arglist as a single quoted list.

Yes, indeed, we don't want to have to quote each arg.
Therefore, for convenient use, I suggest making this
a macro with a &rest argument.

    This could be used for things other than Emacs, so I no longer think
    it should go in admin.el.

That's a bad place.  This code should be included in the Emacs
release.  It should go in lisp/emacs-lisp.
