(SETPROPLIST 'DATE (GETPROPLIST 'RAND)) seems to be a temporary workaround (you have to recompile of course). I did a MAPATOMS to see if I could spot another function that had both the same compiler property as DATE and was the same kind of function (one for which a constant argument gives varying results) but I didn't notice any (except possibly for TIMEREXPIRED? when applied to a compile-time constant, which is not something one wants to do, I imagine). - Christopher
