I'm going to go back and re-answer this question:

"Would it be hard for Nu to permit lifting arc primitives?"

Not at all. Arc lifting happens automatically and transparently with namespace inheritance. It works right now. In fact, that's the entire point of the namespace system.

And if you ever want to directly evaluate something in Arc (bypassing the inheritance system), you can call `(w/arc3 ...)`

Right, makes sense.

In going from racket to arc, nothing is passed across by default, and in going from arc to Nu[1] everything is available by default.

[1] just like in going from common lisp to wart :)
