What I'm getting at is that C and C++ are moving closer to Lisp in
lots of ways, also. For example, that community seems to like
incremental development for its speed, but they don't see a *need* to
reload a changed function and *proceed*. They see a need to reload it
and start afresh from main. I take this as being just one step away
from the pure Lisp model. Yet they - and I - prefer to be able to do a
fresh compile, mostly because there is then a baseline so that when
things get screwed up, I can start afresh without having to do a lot
to re-create where I was.

What I don't want to do is to superficially analyze what is different
between Lisp and C and then go off and implement that.
