Thanks - and of course you may be aware that in the distant past that my 
Lisp was the one that NAG delivered Axiom on. For that work I put in "just 
enough" Common Lispisms to allow Axiom to run, since I started off with a 
less complicated Lisp dialect. But in what I am doing now I am trying to 
roll at least a lot of those bits into the main trunk of all I do.

I will exchange separate emails with you away from the general lists to 
discuss your views on Lisp and mine, and see if we have a practical way 
ahead...
