Obviously, when I tried (SETF X 1) at top level it worked so I assumed  
that X is a dynamic
variable and that is the origin of my surprise when the compiler  
complained when I run POP.
I thought that I have found somthing that I need to understand when I  
tried CMUCL and the
compiler did not complain (but CMUCL raises a warning when I run SETF  
at top-level
that declares the variable as special).
