[Ecls-list] Arglist?

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

ECL does not normally store information about a compiled function lambda
list, just for economy reasons -- it is not used anywhere in ECL, not even
in the debugger because function arguments are directly registered by the
function at run time if debug settings are large enough.

If such a function is really needed we would have to add an option to the
compiler so that it stores the lambda list or even the function code, though
the latter would be questionable, given the bloat that would result.  In any
case it would not be that difficult.
