To those who have ever been in large Lisp programming projects:
I have two questions on lists used in large Lisp applications.

	1.  How long, do you think, become the lists? (1 2 3 4 ....)
	    How deep, do you think, become the lists? (((((....)))))
	2.  Were there frequent cases, you think, lists becomes both
	    long and deep? or ...

Thankyou for any guesses, feeling-from-experience, or whatever. -Kwang
