I wonder how well Boot output maps into elisp?  Boot and Spad output
is deliberatly limited to allows much simpler Lisp-s than Common
Lisp as a target.  I expected problems with elisp ...

Concerning Spad semantics, much is done after parser.

There is an effort to move compiler to Spad, but developement is
jumpy with only very small recent progress.
