Morris' corollary doesn't make sense.

"Including Common Lisp" what does that mean? Common Lisp isn't a C or Fortran program; it can't be included in the set of C and Fortran programs. Some Common Lisp implementations use C or C++ in their "kernels". Some are written in Common Lisp itself or some combination of the two. (Don't know of any in current use that are based on Fortran.) Of course if you implement Common Lisp, the project will contain half of Common Lisp --- and the other half, too! (Will it necessarily be ad hoc or bug-ridden? Probably not the former if you follow the specification.)24.85.175.81 (talk) 03:03, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
