I observe that MCL 2.0.1 contains a number of useful quickdraw-related macros
that guarantee to restore some aspect of state after manipulation within the
"body" of the macro. These include things like (with-focused-view ...), etc.
The following such useful macros seem to be exported to CL-USER and are used in
a lot of example and contributed code, but do not appear in the documentation:
(with-pen-saved ...)
(with-clip-rect ...)
(with-font-codes ...)
What is their status? Are they intended to survive into the indefinite future,
or should one not rely on them?
