OK. Would you at least agree that specifying the macroexpansion for
define-macro would pose no issues? It's not perfect, but I'm no longer a
perfectionist. I have too much code that I want to be able to run in the
future (portably) to be anything other than a pragmatist :)

Seriously, while this may seem like a small feature, it's not, because
it's impossible to write a portable "user-space" define-macro /
macroexpand replacement.
