I have thought about it and I would rather have PUSH, POP, and CASEQ be
system MACROS than system FSUBRS.  I realize this is difficult, but I
just wanted to point out the philosophical issue - these are trivial macros,
and add nothing to the power of lisp, really, just convenience, and also
I don't want to have to tell my damn macro expander about them, as I've
told it about almost all the other system FSUBRS [if they're macros, it
will just macro-expand them, and then have FSUBRS it knows how to deal
with].  I realize this is difficult to do in the current LISP, but I thought
I'd bring up the idea to see if you all agreed.
