Arguments: func

In previous releases, this function ensured that the function object specified as the argument was fully loaded and then returned the (perhaps now fully loaded) function object. When a fasl file was loaded in libfasl (Allegro Presto) mode, it was typically only partially loaded until used. In 7.0, the Allegro Presto facility has been removed. This function is kept for backward compatibility only and is essentially equivalent to the identity function, simply returning its argument. (The argument func must still be a function object -- not a symbol naming a function.)

See The Allegro Presto facility has been removed in loading.htm for further information.
