No, it's probably better to provide this feature for some
languages than not to provide it at all. I'm just saying that that
will raise some eyebrows in the future and may lead to some
surprised questions on the relevant fora. So perhaps some thought
about how it might (eventually) be implemented for Lisp may be in
order. (Perhaps as a completely separate package written in Lisp,
or perhaps with some additional Lisp code that uses the underlying
functionality in the C code? I have no idea what's feasible.)
