Lisps conformance to ANSI



Insisting that the underlying CL be ANSI will
not solve ALL porting problems, since some of the code in Maxima
is not and cannot be ANSI -- there are pieces that we use that have
not been standardized.  Thus foreign function code is
not in ANSI.  I'm not sure what else we really need that
is not specified in ANSI CL.  Does anyone have a list?

Optimization of elaborate systems (GC tuning) is probably
outside the scope of the ANSI standard too...
