Recall the "Subject:" of this thread: "Cons cell archaic!?"
I brought it up in the context of a fallacious argument that
was implying that abandoning cons-based lists meant abandoning
S-exprs. I mentioned CDR-coding as "a Middle Way" possibility
that abandons cons-based lists while *keeping* traditional S-exprs.

Oh, and also as reminder that an alternative to pure cons cells
was an *OLD* idea...  ;-}
