For a more modular application-level Lisp it's a nice start, except for
missing parts, like a useful macro system or declarations for efficiency,
and such nonsense as the inability to do general character comparisons.
For a Kernel Lisp, I think it's too high-level, and doesn't leave much
room e.g. for the recently discussed immutability and freedom to share
or clone some immutable data.
