Yeah I think the comparisons were for pointfree style, i.e. the
combining word shouldn't care about the signatures of the component
words.  It's been a while since I've done any CL, but you may want
something like

   (defun z (&rest args) 
      (apply (compose x y) args))

where compose is defined as below.

> (defmacro def-composed (name &rest functions) ...

    (defun compose (f g)
       (lambda (&args) 
           (f (apply g args))))

if I'm not mistaken.  I think this style is more prevalent in Scheme than CL.
I'm not sure in CL what you'd do about multiple-value returns.
