Not really what I can see (?) - `describe-function' does it with the obarray stunt and the default value is computed with `function-called-at-point' well inside the `interactive' form - so if you want that again in the function body (i.e., outside of `interactive') the only way at least that I'm aware of is to compute it again. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
