Non-top-level DEFUN



Whether or not Weinreb was confused, the larger point remains:

The notion of "top-level form" is a complete disaster and should be
abolished.  We should flush this in favor of a careful specification of
just what things the compiler is required to handle in well-defined ways
and which things are left to the discretion of the implementor.  We've
got enough experience by now that we can tie down some things that we
were afraid to specify earlier.
