[CM] Snd 10.0

[Heinrich Taube]

i cant wait to try this out! a really amazing piece of work,  
congratulations!!
what does 's7' mean, sounds as cryptic as 'ice9' to me

yay! what do the keywords look like,  #:foo  :foo or foo: ?? or could  
the reader handle them all via parameterization (set-keyword-style!  
'cltl) or whatever?

yay!

yay!

yay!

yay!

now maybe i can finally get cm3 +clm togther in scheme ...
