settor functions

>From examining initial.es, I made this try.  I thought I'd get
"set x fred" and x set to fred:

;; set-x = { echo set x $*; return $* }
;; x = fred

Here's what I actually got:

set x
uncaught exception: return

(And the value of x remained unchanged.)  What am I doing wrong?  Or is
this a bug?

OK,
John.
