Lest anyone gets confused and is worried that we are talking about
removing macros from Guile: this is not the case. "macro" is the
internal name for a special kind of syntactic device that is much like
a normal macro but is expanded everytime it is evaluated. Normal
macros are only expanded once.

As soon as reasonable. :)

Is it really impossible? I'd say it can be done, as long as we have
'local-eval'.
