Displaying nothing is OK for me. :)

But error messages during normal edit (especially long: two-line
messages in minibuffer forces Emacs to resize one of other buffers and
it is little pausing) are annoing.

Recognizing Common Lisp structures (as Christophe Rhodes suggest)
would be fine, but there are probably least important things to do :)
