So do you have an implementation of XLispStat *in* Common Lisp (i.e. a
different language) or have you created a package of statistics foo
written in Common Lisp (i.e. a library)?

P.S. I have a soft spot in my heart fo Xlisp-Stat because I used it
back around 1992 for things having nothing to do with statistics
because it was the only free-as-in-beer Lisp I could find that ran on
my Macintosh SE/30.
