Summary: Factor of Compiled Function error  message

Initial Comment:
Try the following.

(%i1) f(x) := x$
(%i2) f(1,2);
Too many arguments supplied to f(x): [1,2]

(%i3) compile(f)$

(%i4) f(1,2);
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
Error in MACSYMA-TOP-LEVEL [or a callee]: MACSYMA-TOP-LEVEL [or a callee]
requires less than two arguments.

"The error message tells the user almost nothing. I consider that a bug.

Barton"
