"DEFVAR and DEFPARAMETER do the combined service of - in some implementations, recording the "definitional home" of the variable - declaring the indicated variable special in compiler and runtime - assigning the variable (either conditionally, as in DEFVAR, which assigns only in the case that the variable is unbound, or unconditionally, as in DEFPARAMETER). "
