This would be a good idea.  Is it possible to define a Common Lisp 
subset that would map into Dylan?  Then all that is needed is 
the CommonLisp-to-Dylan syntax translation, which I think would
be easy.  Hmm, isn't nil /= false in Dylan.  That's hard to fix in syntax.
If the CL->Dylan mapping isn't 100%, maybe we could
push hard to get Dylan changed so it would be.  

Why not make it CL-subset-able?
