I think this issue needs only minor patches. I think that the improvement of
aesthetics has a counterbalance, in that it makes the language slightly larger;
however, it is a minor increment.(The phrase "gilding the lilly" comes to mind,
but at this hour I'm no longer sure what it means.)
I guess we should come out with NEW-MACRO and mention in the discussion that we
considered NEW-SPECIAL-FORM.
Other opinions?
