That's the least of it. In Lisp the distinction between code n data is blurred all the time. In F18 assembly i frequently have "double entendres" which are used as code or as literals depending on the entry point. I think at least once there was code and data in the same entry point. Assembly n Lisp are both homoiconic, after all. N verb at the end of the sentence, are you transliterating German, or a two-foot green Jedi master full of wisdom?
