Anyone using Common Lisp for numerical programming?  I'm about to embark
on a project that involves writing equation solvers (linear and nonlinear),
eigen-solvers, and the like in Common Lisp.  Any words of advice?  I'll
probably be using either Lucid or KCL, but I'm more interested in some
kind of gross measure of the capabilities of Common Lisp in general versus
other languages (Fortran, C) for numerical programming.  BTW, pointers to
any existing numerical packages in Common Lisp would be appreciated.
