David, I forgot to indicate that I am not just looking for crude usage
info but also the nuanced conceptual idea which motivates the concept.
These are works of art and only a sensitive soul can do justice to
explanation for newbies. Even a statement in C such as the for loop
took a while to evolve. In lisp, we take special pleasure at its
syntactical structure and how it manages to carry rich semantics.
