 OK.  The original meaning of the sentence is correct but it's just very
 unclear (your patch actually changed the meaning of the sentence).  How
 about:
 
 Working with Emacs Lisp can be quite helpful if you want to go on and
 learn something like Common Lisp.  Emacs Lisp has many features of
 Common Lisp, although it is considerably smaller and thus easier to
 master.
 
 (This changes the meaning of the sentence too, but it's consistent with 
 my understanding of the situation.)
 
 Bruce.
