That's this functionality here?

I see in the appendix you state that this is to be built even before
common lisp - does that mean you want to keep it in C?  We must assume
SOME working compiler on the system, and I guess I was thinking we
would include a binary lisp (sbcl, perhaps) for bootstrapping - is it
your preference to rely on gcc being available or bundle a binary lisp?

I think the same basic techniques that worked on tangle would work here
(probably with some minor variations) so if we want to move this to
lisp we can.
