Perhaps it was a poor example for presentation; I've never actually used
that sort of call in Emacs Lisp, as I mainly code in Scheme these days.
My point was about the single namespace in Scheme, whereas in other
Lisps there are multiple namespaces, to explain the differences between
define and defun, defmacro, defvar, etc.
