That's like saying C is Forth, because I can implement a stack and word list
in C.  Bolting on something to a language is rarely compelling, although it
might find favor with those who are already committed to that language.  So
Python bolts on lambda, which is no selling point to the Lisp crowd (although
it's heavily used by Python coders).  And I've never heard of a Smalltalk'er
who jumped to Lisp because of CLOS.
