Whether it does or not, you probably don't want to try to use it as a
full-scale lisp.  I've had occasion to work with some fairly substantial
EMACS Lisp code on Suns and it's too slow to be useful for anything of
substantial size, even on a Sun-4...

EMACS Lisp is one hell of a macro language, and it's okay for small
chores, but that's about it.
