Is there any way to keep from being thrown into the
debugger when an error occurs? I want to eval something
which may or may not be a bound function but I don't want
to have to parse the whole thing to see if it's bound and
if all of the arguments are correct.

If you have a CLtL2 compliant lisp (one that includes the condition
system), then you can use

	ignore-errors   {form}*				[Macro]

(see p. 897-898 in Steele 2nd edition).
