   3
   4 This is more or less a lot of work in progress.  Here are some notes as well
   5 as status information.
   6
   7 Already implemented:
   8   * progn
   9   * if, cond
  10   * and
  11   * quote
  12
  13 Especially still missing:
  14   * other progX forms, will be done in macros
  15   * where, unless, will be done in macros
  16   * or
  17   * while, other loops using macros
  18   * catch/throw, unwind-protect
  19   * real elisp reader instead of Scheme's
  20   * handling of variables: setq, referencing, let -- using fluids for scoping
  21   * macros
  22   * general primitives (+, -, *, cons, ...)
  23   * functions, lambdas
