Report the evolution of Emacs Lisp sources.

[A Soare <alinsoar@voila.fr>]

In this moment, the only method to see how the code of emacs evaluated is `diff'.

One can show the differences, by comparing the internal representation of the lisp code tree of 2 versions. I saw this idea for the C code here: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~mwh/papers/evolution.pdf .

An advantage of this method would be to report only one when the name of a variable changes. This method will also ignore to report the null-effect characters like blanks or empty new lines. diff reports everything.

What do you think, it would be useful such a tool to make reports of lisp code changes? Maybe I will try it, but it might be _realy_ useful?
