If you run everything in your Lisp image, on top of McCLIM then you have that experience.
I kind of try to illustrate that in the video I linked. Every object is that is displayed is a Lisp object such as the individual parts of Maxima expressions. You can see the underlying Lisp expression after the Lisp listener window is opened.
One major component that is missing is a good editor that takes advantage of all of this. There is Climacs, which is actually quite powerful but it has issues. There is also other efforts, including one by myself but nothing is really ready for production. This is an area where some interested developers could make a huge difference.
