(1) Boot is *essentially* a syntactic convenience and other
administrative stuff over Lisp. The translation is pretty
straightforward. So a claim that the equivalence between data
and program is lost for the prupose of Axiom needs some evidence --
otherwise, yes one could just as well argue that pigs can fly.
(2) Yes, unfortunately I've gotten some other more pressing issues
to sort out today (and probably the next few weeks, but I hope they
won't keep me busy all the time).
[ They affect millions of people, far more than Axiom and Boot ?-) ]
