A simple hack would be to maintain a hash table mapping procedures to
setters. One could use the procedure itself to get a mapping that
followed the object or names (symbols) to get something akin to the
set-*! scheme.
Not perfect, but seems like a usable first shot not requiring
modifications to the evaluator or representations of procedure
objects. Possibly with some hacking it could even work with the module
system such that each module had its own setter obarray.
