The bytecode interpreter can't directly call special forms, so
the byte-compiler usually converts special forms into some sequence of
byte codes (basically, providing a duplicate definition of the special
form). There are still two exceptions to this: `defconst` and `defvar`,
where the compiler instead generates a convoluted chunk of code like:
(funcall '(lambda (x) (defvar <sym> x <doc>)) <value>)
where the quote makes sure we keep the function non-compiled, so as
to end up running the special form at run time.
Get rid of this workaround by introducing `defvar-1` and `defconst-1`
which provide a *functional* interface to the functionality of the
corresponding special form.
* src/eval.c (defvar, Fdefvar_1, Fdefconst_1): New functions, extracted from
`Fdefvar` and `Fdefconst`.
(Fdefvar, Fdefconst): Use them.
(syms_of_eval): `defsubr` the new functions.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-tmp-var): Delete const.
(byte-compile-defvar): Simplify using the new functions.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Defining Variables): Adjust the doc of
`defvar` to reflect the actual semantics implemented.
