(process-run-function
   (list :name "test" :initial-bindings '((*var* . 1)(*param* . 2)))
    #'test)

(I don't remember why it's necessary to pass the keyword arg :NAME
to an intermediate function so that it can pass it as a required arg
to MAKE-PROCESS; there may be a good reason for this, but it's easy
to forget the keyword.)
