I stand corrected. I guess I believed Hal Abelson when he used
"Scheme"/"Lisp" interchangeably.
Well, i myself consider Scheme a Lisp - particularly when
comparing it to programming languages in general, rather than to
other Lisps specifically - but i do understand why some people
don't. Here's a recent thread about the issue:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lisp/comments/326ztv/what_properties_must_a_language_fulfill_to_be/
which links to this post by Kent Pitman in which he agrees with
those who say Scheme is not a Lisp:

Also, i do prefer the style of appending '!' and '?' to functions,
and am glad that Clojure takes this approach. :-)
