Re: tracing a function without knowing its name

Does anyone know how (or at least how with sbcl) to trace a function
object without knowing its name?

for example: here is a macro which is creating a function.
I'd like to trace it as well while I'm debugging.

(defmacro def-type (type-name lambda-list &rest body)
`(new-type ',type-name (lambda ,lambda-list ,@body)))

Don't know about sbcl, but Allegro CL has a function called ftrace,
with which you can do just that:
