". . . with a namespace for functions that is different from the one for ordinary values", then!

I got into this trouble by wanting to avoid contributing to the perpetuation of the terms "Lisp-1" and "Lisp-2". I find those 2 terms regrettable because using a short name for a concept implies that the concept is important, but whether functions share the same namespace as values do is not IMO an important decision in the design of a programming language: changing the decision changes the character of the language in only a few superficial ways.
