    (1) It should not be necessary to extend DEFUN in this manner.

    (SETF (GET 'FOO 'BAR) #'(LAMBDA ...))

    should do exactly what you want.  Is there a problem with this?

You might as well say that DEFUN should be flushed in favor of 

(SETF (FSYMEVAL 'FOO) #'(LAMBDA ...))

I like the SETF proposal 1(b).  It decreases the amount of syntactic
hair in the language and SETF seems to do exactly what is needed.

Since all my friends dislike it, I must be missing something.
