Just use full CL. There are plenty of those already.]

2. Is "large enough" to be generally useful for at least *some*
area(s) of interest -- say, "scripting", one-off programs,
introductory tutorials/teaching, etc., or as an "extension
language" [yet another ill-defined term, sorry] for embedding
in other programs.

I think these two pose a question that has to be answered first:
are there in fact obvious/noncontroversial metrics, and if so,
what are they?
