| So I have another question directed to those who say Scheme is not a
| Lisp: is the concept of "programming language with S-expression-based
| syntax" not important enough to deserve its own less verbose term?  If it
| is, what should that term be if not "Lisp"?

  How hard is it to say "Lisp family"?
