If we really want to have this kind of discussion, we need to keep it
seperate for each of the languages involved.  Otherwise a language war
is bound to ensue.  Let Scheme users comment on faults in Scheme, and
CL users comment on faults in CL.

Disagreed - the very reasons someone has picked one language over the
other may be valid info about that other language, in this context
