>(setq foo (read))
>(lambda (x) x)

	I think the question was what type of object is foo bound to?
I think it is basically just a list. (fboundp 'foo) returns nil.
however, (funcall foo 1) does return 1.  Accordingly, (functionp foo)
returns t. I discovered that (functionp 'bar) also returns t, in spite
of the fact that bar was previously unbound: anyone know why?
