GNU Emacs 18.53.11 on NeXT 1.0.1

Suppose F is a function defined using defun.
Now suppose G is another function which calls F, and which is
bytecompiled.

If you redefine F as a defmacro, then when G calls F, you get an
invalid function error, since it's trying to call a macro as though it
were a subr.  Shouldn't it be possible for a macro and a subr
definition to coexist?  (Usually, of course, the subr should shadow
the macro.)
