Well, MAPCAR is easy to reimplement.

Perhaps, it worth to implement special package ERCL, where such
reimplemented functions will reside.  And force users to use only that
functions in Erlisp programs.

Here DEFUN and MAPCAR are symbols from ERCL package, not CL.

Erlisp will contain large subset of CL with some extenstions.

Perhaps, it worth to create number of branchs with different
approaches.  It is experimental software (yet) anyway!

Well, I am not student at all :)
