I would rather not create yet another Emacs fork. If you (we?) can convince either XEmacs people or RMS that Common Lisp is the way to go, I will contribute.

Actually, this is a red herring: the amount to be added to Emacs is minuscule compared to what is already there, and Emacs will not grow noticeably because of that. I am pretty sure that Guile+"3 widely used Scheme object systems" is larger than Common Lisp. -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) running RedHat7.3 GNU/Linux "Complete Idiots Guide to Running LINUX Unleashed in a Nutshell for Dummies"
