;;;; dynamic (Emacs wide)
;; first store the correct functions so we have them
;; (note: "subr" as in "subroutine", not "subtract")
(setq addition-fun (symbol-function '+)) ; #<subr +>
(setq subtraction-fun (symbol-function '-)) ; #<subr ->
;; change + to do subtraction
(fset '+ subtraction-fun)
(+ 1 2 3) ; -4
;; revert
(fset '+ addition-fun)
(+ 1 2 3) ; 6
;;; lexical
(cl-labels ((+ (&rest args) (apply '- args)))
(+ 1 2 3) ) ; -4
(+ 1 2 3) ; still 6
