Not to forget: different name spaces for functions and
variables. That's the LISP-2's and that's what LISP-2
users expect (they will call a variable "list" without
fear of shadowing their function named "list"). LISP-1
folks (e.g. Schemers) will shudder at this thought.

Which one is "better" is just a matter of taste, I think.
