The reasoning behind expanding atomic macros in lambda lists (in my mind)
is that you might define something like:
(defatomicmacro MAGIC-VARIABLE
<the particular magic variable for this program>)
and you could then use MAGIC-VARIABLE all over the place and have
it be replaced automatically (this could be great for macro
packages and the like, I suspect). Anyway, that's the basic theory.
