Cool. When you are going to release it, Lars? What license are you
going to use?

Did you know that Ingvar Mattson <ingvar (at) bofh.se> and others are
trying to do it the other way around? Ingvar has written Common Lisp
code to be able to parse Emacs Lisp. I think Ingvar and friends are
trying to make Portable Hemlock Emacs Lisp compatible.

I think Martin "Rydis" Rydström <rydis (at) cd.chalmers.se> is into
this as a well.

Myself, I would like to see things go in another direction. Does
anyone know of a portable curses-like package for Common Lisp that I
could use to build an Emacs frontend and use Ingvar's elisp package to
make it Emacs compatible? Does anyone else have any similar plans?
