scope of function definition

Hi,

I noticed that de, df, dm etc. do the binding of function
to symbol in lexical scope. 

? (let ((f ())) (de f () 1))
= f
? f
= ()
?
 
Unlike defvar, the descriptions for de etc. are not explicit 
about the scope of the binding. I think they should be explicit.

Although I'm still a lisp newbie my impression is that it would
be more in line with other lisps if de/df/dm were doing the 
binding globally (like, e.g., defun in CL). So if it doesn't 
break too much, you might want to consider changing the 
current behavior.
