Multiple values.

Keyword arguments.

Modules.

FFI.

So far, I'm not too keen on = for setf. Mainly for the negative reason that I like = with its comparison of numbers meaning. Perhaps (! a 0) for assignment?

The other short names for commonly used operators I find a big win though. I've already copied a lot of them to my own pet Lisp - that's how much I like them.

Why not use = for assignments and == for comparisons? It's what over 90% of programmers are used to (just not lisp programmers).
