issue CONSTANT-FUNCTION-COMPILATION

[sandra%defun@cs.utah.edu (Sandra J Loosemore)]

Just a reminder, this issue was tabled at the last meeting so people
could think about alternate proposals.  I personally think the
existing proposal NO is acceptable and I have a lot of other things to
spend my time on, so the initiative on this issue is going to have to
come from somebody else.  (Hint, hint.)

I will, however, take the time to lobby *against* any new proposal
that doesn't provide answers to both of the questions in the "problem
description" section:

  How does one test whether a particular function is a member of the
  subset of functions that are dumpable?

  For those functions that are dumpable, how do COMPILE-FILE and LOAD
  arrange for an "equivalent" copy of the function in the source code to
  be created in the compiled code?
