Re: (progn 'compile ...)

[Earl A. Killian <EAK at MIT-MC>]

I've also always wondered about this lossage.  It seems to me
that top-level forms ought to be considered as forms in a setup
function that gets compiled and that is called automatically at
load time.  Is there something wrong with this?  Does it have
undesirable semantics, or is it just implementation reasons?
