I would endorse the removal of true, false, cdpath as well.  Likewise
forever and for, var, apids, the -n option of echo (in favor of
default behaviour omitting the newline).  if can go.  whatis, result and
return and break can go.

As regards hooks and primitives I'm not sure what the implementation
requires, so I'm talking through my hat, but some things seem
redundant:  The separator argument of %backquote can be eliminated.
$&exit-on-false, $&split, $&primitives could go.

This should get a catcall or two:  history could go.  (That's what
emacs is for.)
