I am particularly concerned about lisp developers consistently being able to evaluate the current expression also when it contains reader macros and custom syntax (including other lisp dialects).
For what it's worth, I would very much like this too. For example, I the logic to find the operator appropriate to a given position is fine for lisps with standard syntax, but not so good for (for example) R -- which means that the logic for looking up arglists gets the wrong answer. There's of course a tasteful balance to be struck between hard-coding (which is fine for most normal situations, in any case) and excessive querying of the arbitrarily remote "lisp"...
