I have probably not understood how to use ensure-function.
So I looked in to the functions.lisp file to check it out. But, I'm
still not sure what would be wrong about sending ensure-function a
literal-lambda expression. Explain please :)
It would fit it's name better if it took a lambda list, though.

Another function I found is disjoint. And according to google: Two
sets are disjoint if they have no element in common.
To me, that is like XOR, while Alexandrias definition of disjoint, is
more like OR. Am I wrong again?
