I wonder whether there is a way to catch such redefinitions whenever they happen (which also would help when accidentally redefining something) besides rewriting "defun", "defvar", ecc. Moreover, I wonder whether redefining a function by means of "defun" gets same results as assigning a new function to a symbol using "fset". Thanks.
