I haven't taken a detailed look at the source, but I have two
superficial questions:
1. Why is the name argument required? Shouldn't the macro be able to
gensym a new symbol to use for the map?
2. Could the argument structure be flattened, so that you could write
something like
(define-repeat-map
"c" capitalize-word
"u" upcase-word
"l" downcase-word
:continue
"f" forward-word
"b" backward-word
:enter
downcase-dwim
upcase-dwim
capitalize-dwim)
?
