Lisp1 vs Lisp2

(DEFUN PRINT-SQUARES (LIST)
(DOLIST (ELEMENT LIST)
(PRINT (LIST ELEMENT (EXPT ELEMENT 2)))))

(DEFUN PRINT-SQUARES (LST)
(DOLIST (ELEMENT LST)
(PRINT (LIST ELEMENT (EXPT ELEMENT 2)))))

Conslusions:
The advantage of treating the function and argument positions the same is that using parameters as functions is made more convenient syntactically.
The disadvantage is that not using parameters as functions is made less convenient syntactically because parameter names must be more carefully chosen so that they do not shadow the names of globally defined functions that will be needed in the function body.

The above is adopted from https://www.dreamsongs.com/Separation.html, for a full discussion, following the same link.

Note: I wrote this down because I want to give up using Common Lisp, but stay with Scheme. Common Lisp is too complex to me, and utill now, I do not use Loop facility, CLOS, Condition System. In one word, what I want is Scheme, not Common Lisp. Common Lisp does not have publicly available library (except Allegro Common Lisp), too. But SLib is a choice for Scheme, and DrScheme is a free, comprehensive implementation for Scheme, though I missed it at the first time. For macro, I can also use defmacro in Scheme, and it is just more dangerous.

PS. I must confess that I am using Common Lisp now.
