    Second, redefining the F function will update its association (or binding) to the F symbol, but the previous function will still be available if it has been referenced somewhere before the update. For example:

    (setf (symbol-function 'foo) #'1+)
    (let ((old-foo #'foo))
      (setf (symbol-function 'foo) #'1-)
      (funcall old-foo 42))
    

    It still return 41 on sbcl
