Are there any LISP implementations, especially of Common LISP,
which get 5 instead of 1 as the result of the following run?

>>> (defun eval (x) 1)
eval

>>> 5
1

Does this change to eval ever change what load does?

Does (setf (symbol-function 'eval) #'(lambda (x) 1))
do exactly the same thing as (defun eval (x) 1) in all 
Common Lisp implementations?
