Neat stuff! Just curious:

1) it looks lisp-y, but I didn't look very closely; how much does this
code resemble that for other lisp packages such as Allegro?

2) you are distributing it under GPL. No problem with that, but if you
were amenable to distributing under a BSD-style license we could
include it in the main Postgres distribution. Is that a possibility?
It would be nice to have the foundation for another language interface
for folks to work with.

Thanks again for the code. If the url you published is a good
long-term reference, then I'll add your introductory mail message to
the docs.

Regards.
