Pascal Bourguignong's message contains a good deal of information, and
I'd suggest also carefully studing the Macros node of the Emacs Lisp
Reference.

BTW, Pascal suggests

  (cons 'cond ...)

instead of my

  (append '(cond) ...)

and for the life of me I don't know what was I thinking when I wrote
that. Sleep deprivation, I suppose. By all means follow Pascal's
suggestion.

Aha, I suspected as much.
