$ csi -case-insensitive -R numbers -R syntactic-closures

That addresses the major deviations (although the full numeric
tower is'nt even required for a conformant implementation).

The other deviations seem to be backwards-compatible
extensions or just clarifications of compiler limitations that one
wouldn't consider breaking conformancy.

The EVAL limitation is the only thing I consider true non-conformance,
and that can be handled with the sandbox egg.  Oh, and
transcript-on and transcript-off, but no one cares about them.
