That's a bad assumption. It just isn't true. And I don't see any difference
to elisp here, what did you have in mind?

There's no inherent structure to lisp data in general that supports any
kind of navigation, except maybe basic sexp navigation. There is nothing we
can parallelize to a defun. But if you know same subclass of lisp data that
does have some of those properties, we can a special major mode for it.
Doesn't have to be anything special, mind you, a couple of lines will
probably do what you might have in mind.
