	As with regular functions, associated with any given name you
	can have a setf function or a setf macro, but not both.  This means
	that one does not define a setf function (with defmethod or
	defgeneric) and also call defsetf.  The mere act of defining the
	setf function is enough to tell setf what to do.

    Does this mean that if I do a
    (defsetf foo ...)
    (defun (setf foo) ...)
    then the setf macro has been undone.  (I hope so).
    And similarly in the other direction.

That's the idea.  I didn't give a reference to CLtL because, earlier,
I wasn't able to find anything that says what
  (defmacro foo ...)
  (defun foo ...)
does (nor what the other direction does).  I guess this is supposed to
be covered by the second to last sentence on p.67 and the second to last
sentence on p.144, although neither is as clear as I would like.

I changed my file copy of this message to say
  Note that defining a setf function after doing a
  defsetf or a define-setf-method removes the setf macro, and conversely
  defining a setf macro undefines the setf function.
