Making FROTZ a macro of any sort cannot make ((FROTZ ...) ...) evaluate
correctly. The evaluator recognizes macro invocations as lists whose
symbol is a car which is the name-symbol of a macro. Lists whose cars
are not symbols are not macro invocations. The cars of random lists
being evalutaed are not, themselves, evaluated.
