Heh, I think that's about right, anyway, I'm afraid I never got very
into LISP.  Most of the LISP I've done was ELISP, which is sort of

I get the whole prefix notation thing + 1 1 and all that, and I can
certainly see how you'd need to protect things with parens to make
things parse like you want them to.  But yeah, after that things get
weird.

At least to this Algol/C/FORTRAN trained mind...
