That would be awesome! Maybe it is not completely impossible to find a suitable Lisp student, if we advertise it in the right places?

This needs a Lisp hacker. We certainly can have such a project in GSoC, say, an interface based on libsbcl looks feasible, I can even try to mentor it. But finding a student to do it is another story.
