    yeah - let's extend Guile to be a kind of Common Lisp.

I am talking about a small change in features that already exist.  The
issue at hand is for features Common Lisp does not have.

    A lot of _really_ smart people contributed to the design of Common Lisp.
    It is a shame that you want to throw away all that good work and
    redesign everything from scratch.

You mean smart people like Guy Steele, who is also co-designer of Scheme?
