If even XEmacs is ported over to Common Lisp in my lifetime I will be
surprised.  If it happens to GNU Emacs, surprise will not be enough
and I will have to resort to astonishment.

I'm not thinking of the core code.  I'm thinking of all those *.el
files floating around the universe.

   One Emacs to rule them all.  One Emacs to find them,
   One Emacs to take commands and to the keystrokes bind them,

All other programming languages wish they were Lisp.
