Sure, but generic functions don't play well with
advertised-calling-convention: each subsequent cl-defmethod overwrites
the preceding symbol-function, so any existing entry in
advertised-signature-table is no longer found after that.
What would you propose doing? Call set-advertised-calling-convention
after the last cl-defmethod in map.el and hope no third-party code
defines a new method? It's not ideal, but it's better than what we
currently have.
Or is there some other trick we can employ that works in Emacs 26+?

I was just being conservative, because I don't know where EUDC might get
its data from, or how important it is to catch dubious plists
red-handed.
I'd be happy to simplify the code, but let's see if Thomas (CCed) has
any comments. Thomas, the patch touching eudc.el can be found at:
