Are you saying that, if point is at (setf c.ar), M-. should
automatically jump to the definition of #'(setf car) ?

Currently it jumps to #'car.  I think it would be more appropriate to
show both alternatives and let the user choose (as we do for generic
functions).  

To implement that, we need to change swank-backend:find-definitions,
but we could avoid the brittle parsing of the syntactic context.
