Ok, does it show that (or a similar message about not being able to re-define add1)
for your original program with BSL?

For this:
(pair? #f)
(define and 'dummy)
It reports the and error, but for this:
(define and 'dummy)
(pair? #f)
It also reports the and error.
The and error is found and reported first because it checks that definitions
are valid before it checks that functions like pair? exist.
If that weren’t the case mutual recursion couldn't work the way it does
without needing foreword declarations. (I think)
