A.k.a. "COBOL-LISP", "Commune Lisp", "Commode Lisp", etc.

In the example below, the file is automatically closed at the end
of the block.

File.open( out_file, "w" ){|stream|
... <your code here> ... }

At this moment I want to use CL instead of shell-scripting. So instead
of writing scripts in bash I want to start writing them in CL. But I
would not be surprised if I will use CL also for 'real' programs. Maybe
those two activities ask for a different implementation. But maybe it is
better to first learn the language and later on decide which
implementation(s) to use.
