Presuming I'm remembering my most recent look in to this stuff
correctly (about 6 mos ago), I believe you're right, but Marius may
have further comments.

It may also be important to consider pssyntax (i.e. syntax-case,
etc.).  In the end I'd like to have one unified macro system whose
behavior and interactions with the rest of guile are very clear.
