        Subject: DEFUN& strikes again!
        Macroexpansion of the following code binds SUBRS to (), then does
        (DESETQ SUBRS (REVERSE SUBRS)) which is purely wrong...

    Indeed, any case like (DEFUN FOO (&OPT (BAR BAR)) ...)  is not correctly
    handled - only if a variable is being being bound to *previous* variables
    in the varlist does it work right.  This could be fixed, without loss of
    other optimizations, if anyone is really interested.
----
Yes, I am interested. I have this CODE-SUBST program I would like to release
but am hesitant to do so until DEFUN& starts working as documented so that I
can be compatible with something correct.
