I'm curious how you arrive at this conclusion, given that there's a full LISP 
environment in there.  Are you saying that there are things that simply can't 
be done in LISP, or what?

[Needless to say, I don't know that I'd buy the use of the adverb 'easily', 
but I seriously doubt there are things that you absolutely could not do.]

Is there a released date for when this is supposed to happen?
