Paolo,
I see this as a learning opportunity: I'll have a go at converting the swig
clisp module (clisp.cxx etc) to a gst module to get a feel for the level of
difficulty (c++ is foreign to me,) and see how I do. If it turns out not to be
beyond me, then I'll have a go a more complete wrapper module based on pythons
or whatever seems most appropriate (that is unless someone else is already
working this.)
Kind regards,
Brad Watson

The idea overall is good. The problem is that CLISP's C binding is way
more powerful. In particular, GNU Smalltalk has no support for enums
and variables.
Also, more work (or a wrapper layer, that SWIG is very good at emitting)
would be necessary to support things such as passing structures by value.
