OH PLEEEEEAAAAASE.  Sure LISP will manage all your memory and garbage
for you, but it has overhead, and all the lisp I've written and all
the lisp I've seen other people write is just as, if not more, cryptic
than weird C pointer constructs... but I don't want to start a 
"my language is better than your's" thread...
