[Ecls-list] Better handling of swank refedinition of method?

[Peter Enerccio]

Thanks, I will use that. And I mean that there is nothing else (except that
fmakeunbound that I learned now) to actually get program working again,
other than turning off ecl and turn it on again (and get all the stuff
back).
