hi Marco, et.al.

thanks for your great work on the very useful ilisp package.

One frustrating omission is that there is no eval-last-sexp  
counterpart to eval-next-sexp.  I consider the former vastly more 
useful and natural;  90% of the time I am at the end of an 
expression  (generally one I have just typed, or navigated to the 
end of),  and want to evaluate it.  In emacs-lisp buffers this 
works quite naturally -- in fact, there are TWO key bindings 
devoted to this use case:
	C-j		eval-print-last-sexp
	C-x C-e	eval-last-sexp

Ilisp  instead presents the very annoying extra step(s) of always 
navving back to the beginning of the sexp.

So I strongly urge that Ilisp provide eval-last-sexp  
functionality, and furthermore, elevate it to a prominent 
keybinding (and menu) that tracks the standard emacs usage -- for 
example, a logical choice would be C-c C-e.

Regards,

John


ps.  please forward to any ilisp-bug list as appropriate.
