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. CLISP could handle your typo,
unsympathetically called "careless" in the paper; oh, well...
