porting code to sort out which NILs are false and which are
empty lists
switching to scheme-style special forms. however you feel about
scheme names vs. CL names, using both is silly.
mostly switching to scheme predicate names, with compatibility
aliases for now. adding set-constant! to make this efficient.
adding null?, eqv?, assq, assv, assoc, memq, memv, member
adding 2-argument form of if
allowing else as final cond condition
looking for init file in same directory as executable, so flisp
can be started from anywhere
renaming T to FL_T, since exporting a 1-character symbol is
not very nice
adding opaque type boilerplate example file
adding correctness checking for the pattern-lambda benchmark
bugfix in int2str
that could access the current environment dynamically. It also
differed unnecessarily from common lisp set in this respect.
So now setq is a builtin special form that sets lexical or
global variables, and set is a function that sets global variables.
Rather than eliminate the power of the dynamic set, I extended it
by adding eval*, which evaluates its argument in the current
environment. The justification for this is that the interpreter
is already dynamic enough to allow it with no overhead, so the
ability might as well be exposed.
cleanup; removing some magic numbers
beginning hash tables
