+A function is defined with NAME, ARGS, and DOCUMENTATION.  This
+function first looks for a function to call in NAME's property list
+that is indicated by 'IMPLEMENTATION; failing that, it looks for a
+function indicated by 'DEFAULT. If neither is present, an error is

+If a DEFAULT-BODY is supplied, then a function with the same body and
+ARGS will be added to NAME's property list as the property indicated
+by 'DEFAULT.
 
 Backends implement these functions using DEFIMPLEMENTATION."
