Examples

(defun-q-list-set 'foo '((x) x))
FOO

(foo 3)
3

The following example illustrates the use of defun-q-list-set to combine two functions into a single function with defun-q:

(defun-q s::startup (x) (print x))
S::STARTUP

(defun-q my-startup (x) (print (list x)))
MY-STARTUP

Use defun-q-list-set to combine the functions into a single function:

(defun-q-list-set 's::startup (append
   (defun-q-list-ref 's::startup)
   (cdr (defun-q-list-ref 'my-startup))))
S::STARTUP

The following illustrates how the functions respond individually, and how the functions work after being combined using defun-q-list-set:

(defun-q foo (x) (print (list 'foo x)))
FOO

(foo 1)
(FOO 1) (FOO 1)

(defun-q bar (x) (print (list 'bar x)))
BAR

(bar 2)
(BAR 2) (BAR 2)

(defun-q-list-set
  'foo
  (append (defun-q-list-ref 'foo)
              (cdr (defun-q-list-ref 'bar))
  ))
FOO

(foo 3)
(FOO 3) 
(BAR 3) (BAR 3)
