Re: Getting Lisp code - similar to "disassemble"

The "original" code may have disappeared, so the common
lisp standard doesn't have a way to get it back, I think.
Best way is to save the code when you do the defun, or
to look at the file.  There is a way of finding
the code in an implementation-dependent way, but you may
not recognize it since it will have been macro-expanded
etc.  The compiler presumably uses this
to get inside the interpreted function, but
it might not meet your expectations.
