no, it IS a variable.

the standard defines what unbound variable is, but is it dynamic, lexical or
constant variable unbound? :)

looks like (setf (symbol-value 'varr) 1) creates a global binding, so it's
not a unbound variable.

i think you can assume that it's a dynamic variable when referenced in
top-level, since description of what dynamic varibles is is very vague :)

which ones produce warning? i've checked acl, lispworks, clisp and sbcl --
no one produces warnings.

i'm not sure, but i think unless we assume that this interpretation of
standard is correct, we can find a contradiction in standard -- that is much
worse than simply 'undefined behaviour'.
