Just expressing an intuitive "want". > Agreed. The problem is, in lisp, AFAICT, "well" or even "correctly" is never *finally* determined. Consider: (defun foo (x) (declare (fixnum x)) x) (compile 'foo) (defun bar (x) (foo x)) (compile 'bar) (setf (symbol-function 'foo) (lambda nil nil)) or (setf (symbol-function 'foo) (compile nil (lambda nil nil))) Flexibility has its price.
