Merge with Common Lisp and get their libraries or have Stefan
and Andrea compensated to write a new Lisp that is better than
CL but still compatible so their user base, libraries and
tools become available to us.
CL is also faster, not that Elisp is slow anymore thanks to
native compilation. People in the CL world has a bigger
collective experience from programming so these beginner's
mistakes hopefully happen less often, or get stuck from the
80s/90s without anyone doing anything because "<something> is
a tool" which is especially hilarious and an embarrassment to
the sport because that is actually the reason _not_ to couple
libraries onto them, whoever came up with that heat
struck idea.
