No you aren't.

They related to very old implementations of Lisp. IIRC, SUBR
(resp. FSUBR) served to recognize built-in functions (resp. special
forms or macros) in the symbol-function slot of symbols, for example
as (FSUBR <address>) so the Lisp interpreter knew it had to call an
internal procedure and would not evaluate the arguments, whereas
we all know (LAMBDA (#) ...).
The term of "signature" is used like in finance or crime: a kind of
characteristic of the function, and you know that when two signatures
differ, the functions must differ (if they are the same, the functions
need not be the same). In CLISP, the signature of a function
comprises / encodes the parameter list (number of required / optional
parameters, &rest present and &key symbols).

The definition, for example using defun or defmacro vs. flet/labels

I think it's ok as a closure is represented as #Y(..byte code..)

See LOOP.LSP where this message comes from.
CLISP checks the grammar(!) and won't accept
(loop for match being each external-symbols ...) or
(loop for match being the external-symbol ...)
See the trailing 's' for plural? ------^
