To what extent can we consider the following to make EU happy?
a) subsets of CommonLisp
b) alternatives that are additive
c) alternatives that can be made additive
by loading a support file.
The latter two keeps backwards compatability at th cost of agreeing on a
union that is acceptable, and the first allows smaller upwards growing
parts.
I agree that changes that harm current users must be very important to
be accepted.
