See attached a patch for clarification of what I think is a mistake in
the manual. In the lisp-intro docs, section 3.11 (review) about defun,
there is an example of a defun. The text reads "the function definition
was as follows." and then comes an example of back-to-indentation. That
is a bit confusing, it is as if it was supposed to be the defun of
defun.
