 This is the most general way to define a new @code{setf} expansion.

address@hidden CL note---no @code{setf} functions
+Common Lisp defines another way to specify the @code{setf} behavior of
+a function, namely address@hidden functions'', whose names are lists
address@hidden(setf @var{name})} rather than symbols.  For example,
address@hidden(defun (setf foo) @dots{})} defines the function that is used
+when @code{setf} is applied to @code{foo}.  Emacs does not support
+this.  It is a compile-time error to use @code{setf} on a form that
+has not already had an appropriate expansion defined.  In Common Lisp,
+this is not an error since the function @code{(setf @var{func})} might
+be defined later.

address@hidden FIXME does not belong here any more, maybe in lispref?
-Modern Common Lisp defines a second, independent way to specify
-the @code{setf} behavior of a function, namely address@hidden
-functions'' whose names are lists @code{(setf @var{name})}
-rather than symbols.  For example, @code{(defun (setf foo) @dots{})}
-defines the function that is used when @code{setf} is applied to
address@hidden  This package does not currently support @code{setf}
-functions.  In particular, it is a compile-time error to use
address@hidden on a form which has not already been @code{defsetf}'d
-or otherwise declared; in newer Common Lisps, this would not be
-an error since the function @code{(setf @var{func})} might be
-defined later.
