I don't think we will find a version that makes us all happy. I was
actually fine with the original version:
While the syntax of this macro is a bit unusual, with the background of
the terminology used in the rest of Emacs the description allows only
one interpretation: when we say that the argument (of a macro) is of a
certain form, the unevaluated s-exp is meant. Else we explicitly say
that the value or evaluation result should have certain properties.
Michael.
