To put it another way: a top-level "do" is special-cased to compile and then immediately execute each contained form, in order. Any other top-level form, such as "list", will be fully compiled, including all contained forms, and only then executed. In this case, the defn cannot compile because the preceding declare has not yet executed - it has only compiled.
