Peter, at least allow room for the possibility that I know what I'm doing
better than you do.

it is at the implementation level that Lisp and C have pointers.  at the
language level, C has a pointer concept, and Lisp has not.  end of story.

a software manager is a person who, upon reports of the existence of
icebergs, launches a major operation to remove the tip, yet refuses to
listen to experts who say that when the tip is removed, the rest of the
iceberg will float up.  such a manager was in charge on the Titanic.
