| The introduction to R5RS says, "Scheme was the first major dialect of
| Lisp to [have certain distinguishing features]".  So it does call itself
| a "dialect of Lisp."

  When was this written?

  If not you, some people sure act terribly injured if you say "Scheme is
  not a Lisp" to them or tell them to stop saying "Scheme is a Lisp".
