Soo, yeah. I'm studying common lisp, and coming from picolisp setf confused
me at first. The concept does not seem to appear on picolisp, and I
wondered why its not there.

The only reference I could find was this:
https://www.mail-archive.com/picolisp@software-lab.de/msg03604.html
it mentions that it "violates the spirit of how lisp functions evaluate
their arguments", but no more comment is made.

I hope I'm forgiven if a flame war starts, but I'm trying to understand
what makes a good lisp.

So, why is there no setf in picolisp?
