I tried to defun `nil', but Emacs gived me an error:
```
(defmacro defun (name arglist &optional docstring &rest body)
...
(or name (error "Cannot define '%s' as a function" name))
```
And sorry, I will attach the reason for my modification next time, instead of
waiting for others to ask.

And why is that wrong?
