IIRC You are not permitted to extend make-instance directly, and that
would be the wrong time to register the entry points anyway (given that
there may very well be no server associated with the application).

AFAICT with the server protocol registering an application should *not*
make it start anyway; there are separate `register-FOO' and `start-FOO'
methods for a reason. I am thinking it should be an error to register an
application with a server that is already running, but I'll defer to
drewc's opinion on this.
