Summary: fassave obsolete

Initial Comment:
fassave is documented as saving expressions in fasl 
format.  This was a PDP-10 binary format for compiled 
code (something like .o) which also supported Lisp S-
expressions.  As far as I know, none of the Lisps support 
such a format.  So the function and its documentation 
should be removed, or at least marked as obsolete.

Currently, the function returns as though it had worked.

Presumably the other references to FASL files in the 
documentation (e.g. SIN FASL) will be removed as the 
filename formats are updated.
