    I would suggest that it is better to define a new keyword for
    DEFMACRO which would let it get at the whole form
    rather than make (DEFMACRO FOO X ...) do so.  This is not just for
    the sake of compatibility with old code, but for keeping DEFMACRO's
    definition free of special cases.  It could be
    
    (DEFMACRO FOO (&WHOLE-FORM X) ...)


This sounds like a good idea.
