Damn, macros again :-)
I'll definitely take a look at the revival, but I really doubt I'm the
one to take on first-class macros just yet. I seem to have a hard
time reasoning about them instead of CL macros (or maybe I just
confuse them too much with Haskell-style pattern matching, i'm not
sure), and that's something I'd want to change before dealing with
their compilation.
Thanks again for the pointers,
Martin
