   "Add a piece of ADVICE to FUNCTION's list of advices in CLASS.
-If FUNCTION already has one or more pieces of advice of the specified
-CLASS then POSITION determines where the new piece will go.  The value
-of POSITION can either be `first', `last' or a number where 0 corresponds
-to `first'.  Numbers outside the range will be mapped to the closest
-extreme position.  If there was already a piece of ADVICE with the same
-name, then the position argument will be ignored and the old advice
-will be overwritten with the new one.
