   @pkw did you have opinions viz this whole conversation https://www.dreamsongs.com/Files/PatternsOfSoftware.pdf ?
   While reading through the beginning of SICP, I noticed I have a reactionary feeling against the Good Advice shared between a lot of the introductory lisp books. Imagine I have something like
   (defun x-value (3-list) (car 3-list)) <=> (setf (symbol-function 'x-value) #'car)
   I don't see the poetry of the euphemism x-value for car. So I think lisp objects should all be directly amenable to function-lambda-expression
