Ah. Thank you.

> putting procedures in cons cells [... or ...] better use symbols

I asked ChatGPT4 about it. It thinks it's fine ;-)
It claims (as I expected) "When you place a procedure in a cons cell,
you are not copying the procedure itself into the cell. Instead, you
store a reference (or pointer) to the procedure." and "security
implications are more about the integrity and trustworthiness of the
procedures themselves"

So yeah, good job from me, right? :-)

Cheers Bost
