D'oh!  Of course.  But note that you're still operating with the
symbols, which was my original point --- you're not working with
anything attached to the symbols.  Not like when I want to get the
function but not the value cell, when would shadow the symbol and
then do

(setf (symbol-function 'string) (symbol-function 'cl:string))

Seems different to me, anyway.....  :-)
