definefunction and defineconstant #112

Open salmanahmad opened 10 years ago

Instead of the special form being "function" perhaps it should be definefunction and defineconstant that way it is a scalable construct and can be used for other things down the road: definepuppy, etc.

Also it makes a simple convention. If a form starts with "define" it is a special form. Users are discouraged to add things that start with define since it will conflict with the special form.
