I have a resurrection of Pop-2 that I've been working on in my spare time.
(Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.  Back then it was lime-flavoured.)
Think of a cross between Lisp data, Algol syntax, and a Forth/Postscript-
like visible stack designed in the 1960s.

As part of spiffing that up, I've been looking through the SRFIs for ideas
to steal.  I can across 'cut' and 'cute' and thought, hmmm.
It turns out that there is one lambda-expression every 11 SLOC
Only about 5% of those could use 'cut' or 'cute'.

I came to the conclusion that it is MUCH better not to have 'cut'/'cute'.
