At the same time, for the ELisp programmer, this distinction is just an
implementation detail (except for rare corner cases where the programmer
needs to look at the output of `macroexpand`). What is a macro and what
is a special form has changed in the past and will likely change again
in the future (e.g. `defun`, `defmacro`, and `prog2` are now macros but
used to be special forms).
