I like this! Would the id of a primitive just return itself?

  id.4 ; evaluates to 4 or the address where this 4 is stored?

I think all we need is that it be a stable value when literal objects are interned. So id.4 would probably never change, and (id "a") would change in common lisp because it creates new strings each time.
