...but it doesn't lump together a variable, a function (and a couple
of other things). Be it because, at heart, they're a Lisp-1 (Python,
probably Scala), because they disambiguate types with a sigil (Perl,
PHP) -- thus making them a Lisp-1.

Perhaps (I've to defer to Richard's experience here; I'm one of those
wary of shorthands and wishing for a "real" namespace/module system)
Elisp Lisp-2-ness makes things harder.
