And I think roughly the same time as the move to integrate the other Lisp
dialects into what became Common Lisp. Curiously enough, there was a brief and
little-known "Lisp 2", with essentially Lisp 1.5 semantics but an Algol-like
(BNF) syntax. Lisp 2 went absolutely nowhere; by that time, the Algol family
was perfectly capable of handling Lisp-like data structures and semantics on
its own. :)
