(info "(eintr)defvar") says The `defvar' special form ... only sets the value of the variable if the variable does not already have a value. I just checked this: I can use C-x C-e (eval-last-sexp) to set the value of a variable with `defvar' for the first time. As described in the Introduction, I cannot change the value a second time with `defvar' and `eval-last-sexp'; for that, I must use `setq'.
