"If "a def redefines an inner," won't that still break whatever depended on that inner?"

Eep, you're right. I think I want something like this:

  > (= innerdef mac)
  > (innerdef foo() 3)
  > (def bar() (foo))
  > (bar)
  3
  > (def foo() 2)
  > (bar)
  3
Would that always work? It wouldn't let bar be defined before foo, which I still kinda care about. (http://arclanguage.org/item?id=12668) That's the problem with the hyperstatic idea as well (thanks for the link, btw.)

Or perhaps we should just have an explicit undef. Heh, I want to rename def back to defun just so undef is a rotation of defun.
