Same difference. It only works for Maclisp to the extent that Maclisp
is similar to Common Lisp and not because `lisp-mode` is a major mode
for both Common Lisp and Maclisp.

IIRC they'd be surprised by the way arrays are treated:
http://www.maclisp.info/pitmanual/array.html
or "hunks":
http://www.maclisp.info/pitmanual/hunks.html
Also `lisp-mode` will happily misfontify and misindent `caseq` and `selectq`:
http://www.maclisp.info/pitmanual/contro.html#CASEQ
[ There are significant incompatibilities, of course. ]
The fact that such errors in the handling of Maclisp have not been
addressed in `lisp-mode` in all these years (despite that Maclisp has
been a very stable target during those years) shows clearly that
`lisp-mode` does not try to be a major mode for Maclisp.
