It's worth mentioning, the above will throw an error in guilev2:

error: GUILE signaled an error for the expression beginning here
#
 (if (not (defined? 'foo)) (define foo 47))
definition in expression context, where definitions are not allowed

Probably better get used to below:

#(if (not (defined? 'foo)) (ly:parser-define! 'foo 47))

Wouldn't...

(define foo (if (defined? 'foo) foo 123))

...work? Since foo is not defined (or redefined) until the S-expression is fully evaluated, it should be able to resolve the existing value should it exist. This also keeps the define at the top-level.
