What this all boils down to is:

	We have a program in Lisp.  We want to reimplement it in
	C++ syntax with Lisp semantics.

If you want Lisp semantics, you might as well use Lisp syntax: you
already have the original anyway.  There exist good Lisp compilers
for many Lisp dialects, so the argument for converting the program
should not hinge on compiled-vs-interpreted.
