We shouldn't, however, expect any significant improvements, IMO. For the reasons explained, and the fact that lisp has almost no syntax, this is a difficult problem to solve. Not that it has prevented people from trying, though. Check out the work of Warren Teitelman on Conversational LISP and Do What I Mean, way back when most in this board weren't even born.
