Precisely. And a point that Emu makes very well in Bootstrap. Also, when is Honu getting indentation? It's clear that putting out examples primarily filled with arithmetic was a bad idea, because it focuses on the syntactically least appealing part. Frankly, people do not have a problem when they first see arithmetic: 3 -> 3 1+2 -> (+ 1 2) 5*2 + 3*4 -> (+ (* 5 2) (* 3 4)) The problems always come later.
