| For the benefit of the uninitiated, could you please expand the
| abbreviations? (llld, fm, clpfh etc. I know what ANSI X3.226-1994 is).

  I guess FM is the F*cking Manual (which I think is somewhat ambiguous
  when it stands alone, like, do sex therapists from Hell ask you to go
  read it if they get tired of helping you?)

  *FH is slang from the BOFH hierarchy, and means From Hell.  I just made
  the Common Lisp Programmer version up on the spot.

  LLD is the abbreviation for the degree of Legum Doctor, or doctor of
  laws, not uncommon to lawyers.  the first L could stand for "language".
  cudos for "honorable", it is just right in the context.  :)
