yesterday and today I implemented the promised elisp reader and just

be somewhat "complete" because not only there's a compiler but also
a genuine parser for elisp, handling for instance the [] vectors,
all those fancy ?\C-\M-x character escape sequences and the syntax
for circular structures with #n=/#n#. I hope it is fairly complete
and bug-free, but probably not (as usual) ;)
Fantastic work!
Feel free to look at it or try it out, I'd be interested to get
testing results! I could try to run some real elisp code through
it...
I know where you can find a whole pile of it. ;-)
I assume you don't follow the Emacs development mailing lists...
There's been a little traffic recently about possible multithreading
support and the effect on let-bound buffer-local variables. Not much
discussion so far on the details of the semantics of such cases, but
Tom Tromey is looking into this stuff. (I guess I kind of side-
tracked some of the discussion onto guile-emacs stuff, oops.) Have
you given more thought to buffer-local variables, defvaralias, and
other such headaches? Tom's work and yours aren't quite overlapping,
but you're close....
