Come on - do you really mean for people to redefine functions in the same file?
I thought that's what FLET was created to avoid.  Shouldn't it "be an error"
to define the same function more than once in a file being compiled?  Or is
that another potential issue?
 
In any case, I don't see why any effort should go into modifying the behavior
of a CL construct to support such questionable practice.
