I think we reached consensus at the last meeting that both MACROLET and
SYMBOL-MACROLET should pass through toplevelness.
LOCALLY is still a sticky issue. I tend to agree with JonL that since
it can add things like SPECIAL declarations to the environment, its
body should never be considered toplevel.
