Oh, hadn't considered that.  But then I was listening to J. McCarthy
when he was complaining that the creation of the ANSI spec destroyed
the experimental side of lisp.  I also didn't expect everyone to drop
their current Common Lisp in a rush to a decimized uncommon lisp.
It's an experiment, a side branch, only useful if it works out.

'slisp' is unusable, as it only has integers currently and is likely
to be too primative, and most important, lacks a group of active
developers.
