Good idea about the TOC.
Re: lambda: it's important to realize that this series is building up incrementally bigger features from nothing. This Lisp compiler won't have a full implementation of closures or even labeled procedures for some time. So right now we're getting used to name binding and using what we have.
While it's possible to generate the same code I did even when rewriting to lambda, you'll probably have to have some kind of strength reduction afterward.
