Please leave at least Qnil and Qt out of this arrangement, so that
they continue being variables, not macros. Macros are a nuisance in
the debugger (e.g., if the compilation was not with -g3, or with old
versions of GCC). These two are very useful in the debugger, both for
calling functions and for comparing Lisp values against them.
The other symbols could become macros, although that, too, would cause
inconvenience.
