I ran into this while working on making functions durable.  Here's a
contrived example:

=> (defn a
     ([x] x)
     ([x y] (+ (a x) (a y))))
#'user/a

=> (a 1 2)
3

=> (def b a)
#'user/b

=> (b 1 2)
3

=> (defn a [x]
     (- x))
#'user/a

=> (b 1 2)
-3

Is this what people expect?  I would think that the original
definition of a, which is self-referencing, should point to itself no
matter what it's named, not get resolved at invoke-time to see what
the var is currently resolving to.

Thanks,
Alyssa Kwan
