Hm, not sure.  I have turned on font locking of the echo area arglist,
so the keywords should be visible enough.  Or are you concerned with
the fact that we are mixing formal and actual arguments?  I don't
think it creates confusion.

Also, as I promised, I have now implemented the improved echo are
arglist display of DEFMETHOD.
