	DISPLACE is intended for use as a macro-displacing function;
	thus if (DEFUN FOO MACRO (X) (MUMBLE X))  is a macro definition,
	then (DEFUN FOO MACRO (X) (DISPLACE X (MUMBLE X)))  will cause
	the macro call to be displaced by its code after the first
	expansion.

You have been using DISPLACE for the wrong purpose.  You've already lost this
battle; it already turns (DISPLACE X 'Y) into a (PROGN Y).  I think your
arguement has degenerated into (unintentional) obstructionism.  Call your
function something else, and let us make DISPLACE more useful for it's intended
purpose.  Sorry, charley, I think the rest of the world has already gobbled
that name for another purpose.
