We can work around that by defining _FUNCTION_DEF and also including
readline/config.h.  But, it is a mess :-(.  For one thing, the new
standalone readline doesn't seem to install readline/config.h, and
nothing else defines PREFER_STDARG, so the distro case would be broken.

I did this as a hack though and it worked ok-ish in tree.  It found some
mildly questionable TUI code and also a few more minor cases that I will
fix.
