Haha, that was a cheap trick, then. :) Anyway, if you provide a list
of special purpose functions as discussed at the end, then this is a
non-issue anyway. Thanks.

Thanks for considering this.

That would be nice, or combined with the functions you mention next,
this seems good.

That sounds ok to me because I only care about the Lisp level.
Other people shall judge maintenace issues or code issues on the C
level.
Thanks, Kim.
