The author states:
* The only built-in functions are `defvar`, `format`, `substitute`,
`char-upcase`, `+`, `-`, `*`, and `/`.
* Only one variable is available. This variable is called `q`, although any
symbol name starting with the letter `q` will be mapped to this variable.
* Only the first letter of a function name is significant. For example,

> The `defvar` function completely ignores its first parameter. It will always
store the result of evaluating its second parameter in `q`. Unlike in [Common
Lisp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp), multiple invocations of
`defvar` on the same variable will overwrite old values.
* Character constants are limited to `#\Newline` and single-character
constants such as `#\x`.
* The `char-upcase` function will give strange results if passed something
other than a lowercase character.

> The `format` function takes exactly three parameters. The first parameter is
ignored; output always goes to `stdout`. The second parameter must have exactly
one `~s` format specifier in it, and no other format specifiers are permitted.
* The arithmetic functions take exactly two parameters.
* All tokens must be separated from a following `)` by whitespace.
* A lot of other things. Notably, the language which this program interprets is
one `~s` format specifier in it, and no other format specifiers are
permitted.<br>
