I guess I had better clarify this.  I don't like the way CL makes you
do extra things to get first-class functions.  Sure you can get the
functionality, but you have to wrap things in (function ...) and do
fun-apply (I think that is the word), to really make functions values.
Certainly you can do it, but it is definitely kludgy.  Sorry if this
caused any confusion (as if anyone believed me in the first place).
