Whatever is wanted.  Some of the stuff in pjb-cl is ill-defined.

Actually, before trying to make emacs lisp more like Common Lisp by
adding  functions and methods, what would we really need to add to emacs
lisp are packages and reader macros.

Once these two things are added to emacs lisp, it will become much
easier to integrate another language such a Common Lisp or scheme in
emacs lisp.
