- As parts of Pearl is inside MCL I would doubt that anyone inside Apple
- would dare to post the sources. BTW, the current MCL implementation comes
- with a lot of source code for the MCL implementation itself (Common

- I would actually go for the Gambit/Thomas environment for shades
- of things to come (Dylan environments), or MCL (full CL implementation).
