"Instruction Set Architecture".  This is in reference to my goal to
have a well defined Axiom Virtual Machine that is not tied to Lisp.

Yes. But, eventually, I want to move away from Lisp.

I would like to see more documentation of FOAM and its semantics -- I
know there is a documentation; but I'm not sure how current it is and
whether it provides me with all I need.  I briefly discussed the
documentation issue with Stephen when I was in London last July.
