(^ minor-nit 2):  CLtL p.439 explicitly allows the first argument to
the compile function to be nil, allowing unnamed compiled functions.
Indeed, I can find nothing in the language spec suggesting that any
compiled or interpreted functional object necessarily has a name.
That Symbolics and others support such a slot, of course, is a big
debugging win.
