You can use any Lisp function in the current Lisp package from the Axiom
interpreter using `$Lisp', but you need to bear in mind some slight
syntactic differences. For instance your example can be done as:
a:=any(['Integer]$Lisp,3::None) -- use [ ... ] as shorthand for list(...)
a:=any(LIST('Integer)$Lisp,3::None) -- apply LIST from Lisp
Note that although the lisp interpreter will upper-case everything,
Axiom doesn't so e.g. list(1)$Lisp won't work.
I thought that you could package-qualify lisp calls in the interpreter
by doing e.g. BOOT_:_:GENVAR()$Lisp, but this doesn't work in my version.
I hope this helps.
Mike.
