Yes, this would require implementing an optimizing Lisp compiler
which is a tremendous task.

Since CCL is a much simpler and quite independent language
implementing its compilation is more manageable task and it should
considerably improve the performance of code conversion which
currently is very poor.

One of the main questions that should be decided now is how to
implement CCL compilation: dynamically with the help of GNU Lightning,
or statically by generating C code which will be compiled by a C
compiler into the Emacs executable.
