Huh. These all seem like minor details.

I think (shameless plug) that my FSet functional collections library helps modernize CL quite a bit more than this does. I've had a couple of people tell me that FSet has changed the way they program. That's a high compliment.

I'd be the first to admit that FSet takes some getting used to, but if you're willing to put in the work to learn to think this way, there are substantial benefits. It greatly expands one's opportunities to write CL code in a functional style. (Those already familiar with the functional style will find it fairly natural.)

Yep!
That's really cool. I've wanted your library for a long time!
