Perhaps many lisp programmers use/program the same way.  I think my 
lisp and forth experiences were a factor in my going this direction.  I 
have enjoyed programming with the graphical dataflow model of LabVIEW 
in the past, but it did not give me this.  Because of this, I'm 
coercing mc/rev into my application niches and have demonstrated to 
myself that mc/rev is malleable.

Recently Geoff has shown an interest in lisp and the lisp style.  I 
don't know if that will make him an advocate in this issue or in adding 
compensating features, but it might help.
