The SI:DEFEXPR business confused me for awhile, but your basic
suggestion of hiding the name of the function in a declaration looks
good. This would eliminate any need for NAMED-LAMBDA. It might be
worthwhile to create a standard declaration form ("NAME" or
"FUNCTION-NAME" looks OK to me) to hold this sort of thing and explain
what it's for. We already have the machinery to ignore declarations, so
this should add minimal new hair to any implementation.
