I agree in principle -- and that is what I tried to do.
However:
  (1) At the moment, Axiom does not look simple to build/install
      despite efforts in that direction;

  (2) the extension language seems to have a very fuzzy definition,
      when compared to other recent versions of CASes.

Particularly, with respect to (2), I have become unimpressed by the
Aldor mic-mac and the sort of self-infliged paralysis we have put
ourselves into (e.g. don't improve SPAD compiler, because something
better might come out of the blue).

I have less than a week left, so I'll try to use it as best as I can.
