I'd be interested in seeing that. Lisp of course descends from Church's untyped lambda calculus but I didn't realize Lisp terminology about its (runtime) type system had changed historically. PL theorists sometimes like to refer to runtime types as "tags" rather than types. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
