As long as we're discussing how MACL should evolve:

   1. On an error or break, one can examine the stack
      in a backtrace window.  It's also important to
      be able to restart the computation from any point
      in the stack.

   2. MACL is slow and I don't understand why.  The
      CLs on the Sun 3s also run on 68020s and they 
      compile through C rather than directly to native
      code.  Yet they are about 4X MACL.  What gives?

Some work, some won't, so what.
