| Now tell us again how C++ is just 10% less effective than Lisp?

  This is easy, really: When you do things that can be done well in C++,
  Lisp is 10-15% more efficient than doing it in C=+.  When you do things
  that can be done well in Lisp, using C++ instead fails completely.  This
  is no mystery at all.
