Hi Alan,

The patch below replaces the last remaining use of `defadvice` in Emacs
(well, except for Org where this has already been fixed upstream but
we're waiting for the change to trickle down to `master`).

It's guaranteed 100% untested, tho.

It's kinda weird in that this `defadvice` is not actually used in
current Emacsen, but we still have to macro-expand it, so the new code
macroexpands to the corresponding use of `advice-add` even tho that also
won't be used.
