   (fset t (lambda (&rest _) t))

seems to work fine here.

This one does signal an error in `fset`.  We could lift this error of
course, but then we find other problems because nil is used as the
marker that a function is "unbound", so subsequent calls to nil
fail anyway.

Here the problem is that 1 is not a symbol.  You can do

    (fset '\1 #'identity)

tho, after which

    (\1 42)

returns 42.
