  Common Lisp
       
           A dialect of Lisp defined by a consortium of
          companies brought together in 1981 by the Defence Advanced
          Research Projects Agency (DARPA).  Companies included
          Symbolics, Lisp Machines, Inc., Digital Equipment
          Corporation, Bell Labs., Xerox, Hewlett-Packard,
          Lawrence Livermore Labs., Carnegie-Mellon University,
          Stanford University, Yale, MIT and USC Berkeley.
          Common Lisp is lexically scoped by default but can be
          dynamically scoped.
       
          Common Lisp is a large and complex language, fairly close to a
          superset of MacLisp.  It features lexical binding, data
          structures using defstruct and setf, closures, multiple
          values, types using declare and a variety of numerical types.
          Function calls allow "&optional", keyword and "&rest"
          arguments.  Generic sequence can either be a list or an
          array.  It provides formatted printing using escape
          characters.  Common LISP now includes CLOS, an extended LOOP
          macro, condition system, pretty printing and logical
          pathnames.
       
          Implementations include AKCL, CCL, CLiCC, CLISP,
          CLX, CMU Common Lisp, DCL, KCL, MCL and WCL.
