  this is actually quite alarming.  "++" has become a mark of quality, or
  at least something to be desired, however bad the starting point was.
  what's next?  "Kosovo++"?  or would that be "Visual NATO++ - proactive
  defense, as seen on TV!"?

  now, there actually exist GUI IDE's for Common Lisp that look like what
  GUI people seem to expect.  warning: they still use parentheses, not the
  nice colors you might want.  try www.franz.com for their Windows port.
