Define a macro that eliminates this repetitive pattern:
(define-generic generic (a b &key c) (declare (ignorable a b c)) (+ a b c))

Issue: Macro call that should be transformed by define-generic

Macro definition:
(defmacro define-generic (name (&rest arglist) &body body)
  "Convenience macro to define generics as if they were methods.
ARGLIST can be a method arglist, in which case it's parsed into
generic function arglist by removing method-specific args.

BODY can be a list of `defgeneric' options (processed as-is, even
:method ones) intermixed with other Lisp forms:
- If there's a docstring as the first form, it's processed into
  :documentation option of `defgeneric'.
- If there are non-option forms, they are put together into a separate
  :method option under ARGLIST.
- If there's a `declare' form:
  - If it's generic-friendly (optimize for speed or space), then it's
    put into both generic body and :method body (if any).
  - Otherwise it's only put into :method (creating it if necessary).
- If there's an `:export-generic-name-p' boolean option, export (T) or
  don't export (NIL) the generic symbol.

Example:

\(define-generic add ((a integer) (b integer) &key coerce-to-fixnum &allow-other-keys)
  \"Adds A and B, coercing them to fixnum if the sum is too big.\"
  (if coerce-to-fixnum
      (coerce (+ a b) 'fixnum)
      (+ a b))
  (:method ((a string) (b integer))
   (error \"Cannot use `add' on strings!\")))
=>
\(defgeneric add (a b &key &allow-other-keys)
  (:method ((a integer) (b integer) &key coerce-to-fixnum &allow-other-keys)
   (if coerce-to-fixnum
      (coerce (+ a b) 'fixnum)
      (+ a b)))
  (:method ((a string) (b integer))
   (error \"Cannot use `add' on strings!\"))
  (:documentation \"Adds A and B, coercing them to fixnum if the sum is too big.\"))"
