COMPILEFORMSLIST

contains a single function COMPILEFORMSLIST:

compileformslist[var] compiles the list of forms bound to VAR as a single
function, and then changes the binding of VAR so that it simply calls
that function.  The symbolic definition is saved on the property
list of the function-name (which is gensymed) for future reference.

This function may be called repeatedly.

Example:  Executing (COMPILEFORMSLIST 'AFTERSYSOUTFORMS) before a sysout
can speed up subsequent entries into that sysout.
