Every form in Lithp is evalable

class Eval:
def eval(self, environment, args=None):
raise EvaluationError(environment, args, "Evaluation error")

I read Henry Baker's paper Equal Rights for Functional Objects or, The More Things Change, The More They Are the Same
and got a wild hair about egal. However, it turns out that in McCarthy's Lisp the idea is trivial to the extreme. Oh well...
it's still a great paper. Clojure's creator Rich Hickey summarizes egal much more succinctly than I ever could:
... the only things you can really compare for equality are immutable things, because if you compare two things for equality that
are mutable, and ever say true, and they're ever not the same thing, you are wrong. Or you will become wrong at some point in the future.
Pretty cool huh?

raise UnimplementedFunctionError("Function not yet implemented", rhs)
