oKAY, OKAY, i'M SORRY!

(not shouting, just playing with case)

I have actually never used Common Lisp: I've done a lot of work with
Emacs Lisp, a moderate amount with DSSSL, which is derived from Scheme,
and a bit w/ Scheme itself (Guile, I guess ... it was several years
ago). So that's three LISPish languages I've used, and all of them are
normally written in lowercase. Maybe the interpreter sees uppercase; I
didn't know that, and was in any case more interested in how it looks to
humans, and how it feels to the poor schmuck typing on the keyboard.
