Yes. GCL does not complain about redefined functions,
Clisp and SBCL do. Dunno about other Lisps.
Whether or not a message is generated (in susceptible Lisps)
depends on the Maxima internal mechanism to declare the
autoloading function. There are two such mechanisms.
I don't recall the distinction at the moment.
