Hmmm.  Well, I'd say just rewrite defstruct to not use cl functions (I'm sure
cl fans will bitch about how horrible that is, but cl is a part of emacs, it
should cater to Emacs' idiosyncrasies where possible).

Anyway, wouldn't such wrapping address at least majority of such cases?  The
reason I'm going on about this is that I think it's a much more
understandable way of fixing such warnings (in that it directly shows what's
going on) than using `with-no-warnings' (which is a pretty blunt tool).
