Ah, but what, pray tell, *is* "the native notation" of a domain? And
why are you so sure it's almost never sexps? Sexps are a natural fit
to at least one other domain I can think of: mathematics. And if only
mathematicians used sexps it would be easy to generate things like
automated proof-vetters and the like using lisp. :)
