Very much so. How road ahead are we talking? There are some wishlist
things I've got, but I don't know how useful they are at this point:
1) Getting Garnet and CLX to run on GCL. I'm not sure if Garnet not
working on GCL is Garnet's fault or GCLs, but it might be a nice goal
to have a working Garnet included with GCL at some point in the future.
(It does currently work on Clisp 2.29 and CMUCL 18e.) I guess McCLIM
would also be nice to add ;-).
2) Incorporating the new XREF functionality introduced into CMUCL into
GCL. Don't know how difficult this is, but it would be a seriously
cool ability to add.

Yes, probably should be the number one priority.

These sound good.

Hmm - maybe this should be a lesser priority? Should definitely wait
for ANSI compliance, IMHO.

Yay :-). Looking forward to the first public Axiom release.

Always good.
