| Well, I asked for suggestions, so far there is only criticism.

  complaining about syntax is not constructive to begin with.

  I find it fascinating that you are so concerned with minor things.

  well, you just did that.  coming up with something uglier still would
  take away time from doing constructive work.

  your constant whining about how ugly Common Lisp is probably furthers
  _some_ goal of yours, but it is destructive and disruptive to others.
