And I don't mean the Fortran version, but the original MDL code (aka, Muddle) which is a much weirder variant of Lisp than ZIL.
ZIL is basically a subset of MDL, so most of the weirdness you've seen in MDL is also there in ZIL. Check out the "maze" files in Bureaucracy, for example - the game reads a text file at compile time and generates pages of gibberish that have to be combined in the right order to solve a puzzle.
