 Priority:  major       |   Milestone:

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 The compiler doesn't support non-constant initforms for compiled
 functions. One way to work around this would be to take advantage of the
 existing processArgs() functionality in Closure.java. It's used by the
 interpreter to evaluate non-constant initforms.

 In order to re-use the functionality, the compiler would need to create an
 Environment object and set it up with the variables used in the initforms
 for the interpreter to access.

 This can be done by removing the CompiledClosure wrapper around
 ClosureTemplateFunction. The ClosureTemplateFunction should support being
 .execute()-ed directly (instead of through the wrapper). The compiler
 should then set a context record (array of LispObjects) currently carried
 around in CompiledClosure directly in ClosureTemplateFunction. The
 Environment object should be used to set the 'environment' field in
 ClosureTemplateFunction.
