 The idea would be that only the 2-arg operator actually has its own
 bytecode assigned.  Byte-compiled code would always use that.
 Interpreted code would use a subr, as implemented and currently
 commented out in data.c. 
So, you want to make it a compiler macro.  Yes, that sounds
reasonable.

 Doing it completely correctly is a little tricky, but worth doing.

It needn't even be tricky.  Compiler-macros are already used by the
cl.el code.
