Because I don't want to simply adopt all those Common-Lisp-isms into
Elisp. A big reason for that is that Elisp is not compiled
aggressively, so some design choices in Common-Lisp would be too costly
in Elisp.
Other reasons is that I do not agree with some of Common-Lisp's design
choices (question of taste). For a recent example, define-setf-expander
is ugly and inefficient, so the new "core setf" does not fully
support it. Other example: why have `case' when you can have `pcase'?
