Talking about this, I remember there was
a discussion, I think it was with
Pascal Bourguignon, on this list, and he made
the case the more general `setf' should be
prefered to `setq'. But I don't remember the
case he made. Something with quoting, or not
quoting, variables (') and functions (#')?
I don't know if he reads this list anymore;
I found his web page [1] but no e-mail, so
I can't CC him.
