YES!
ARG!

How would I turn it off? Would -C on the command line mean not to do 
that?

What's worse (in the 2.30 version I tested, maybe this is fixed in 
latest CVS head??)

% cat lose.lisp
(let ((x 0))
         (defun worker () (incf x))
         (defun sample()
                 (worker)
                 x))

% clisp -C -i lose.lisp
...
;; Loading file lose.lisp ...
WARNING in SAMPLE :
Function WORKER is not defined
;; Loaded file lose.lisp
[1]>

So, if I cannot use closures "at the top level" without getting 
gratuituous and annoying messages with -C then -C should not be the 
default.

And it would be so nice if it really did "the right thing"... in which 
case I would support it.
