   I also don't like SOURCE-CODE. I unfortunately don't like
   FUNCTION-DEFINITION very much, either, but more for the reason that I'm
   used to thinking of the "definition" of a function as the entire DEFUN
   form, rather than the lambda expression that might be recovered from it.
   FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION? FUNCTION-SOURCE-CODE?

FUNCTION-SEXPR ?

   I'm unsure how far we're willing to proscribe how much the form of the
[prescribe?]
   original definition is retained. For example, after

   (DEFUN FOO (X) X)

   what is (FUNCTION-DEFINITION 'FOO)? Can it be

   (BLOCK-LAMBDA FOO (X) X)

   or must it be

   (LAMBDA (X) (BLOCK FOO X))

   or something else?

For example, can it be the same as the value of #'identity ?
