This is a very nice idea, I didn't consider having a "canonical intermediate
form". Perhaps because the user would mostly never see it, and the final
result is very much the same. By separating out the processing of declarative
keywords into individual helper functions, I was hoping to make the processing
of each "bit" simple enough so that just macro-expansion would be the only
tool needed to debug when the expanded behavior is unexpected. I still like
the idea very much, though; it speaks to my compiler-writer heart. :)
