Note that in practice, the walker/mutator routines are not called from
random places, but by a *very* small number of macros used in clauses.c.
Thus, the probability that someone will introduce a bug into the call
sites is small, and the probability that they'd not discover it
instantly is even smaller.
Given that consideration, I don't see what the point is of trying to
tighten these prototypes. ISTM it adds notational clutter for
essentially zero gain.
