Re: Symbol-function

Can the value of SYMBOL-FUNCTION be anything or must it be a function?  I
seem to recall someone mentioning in the discussion about why the function
value of a symbol was not just the variable value that the function value
could be guaranteed to be something you could just transfer through rather
than some random value that you had to check for function-ness.  Of course,
you could wrap the random value in something that could be transferred
through, as is often done with non-compiled functions, so this doesn't
really resolve the issue.
