I was wondering about this a while ago and thinking that maybe it could
be done without C changes by repurposing the extra arguments to
make-byte-code.  The idea here would be to let cl-defsubst take a new
:type argument other than 'vector or 'list, meaning "use
make-byte-code"; and set the :initial-offset to skip over the stuff
necessary for the bytecode.

It's kind of hacky though.  I think it's probably better to just add
funcallable instances directly, and real types of some kind at the same
time.
