I am dead against this. A subset loses us much of what we would gain
through swapping to a standard language engine.
You are wrong, Andy. The benefit is that the stripped-down clisp
would still be maintained independently.
We would just have eclisp instead of elisp which is just as bad
IMHO.
I think you misunderstood my meaning. Perhaps I have a problem with
expressing myself?
