Thanks Camm, for putting that much emphasis on my needs:-) However, a
missing DEFINE-SYMBOL-MACRO should not be a show-stopper for me, although I
waited for your reaction first. I think that I could recode the relevant
part relatively easily with SYMBOL-MACROLET, although the result would be
somewhat more verbose. The new version even would be lexically "cleaner".
Since DEFINE-SYMBOL-MACRO looks difficult, I will change Femlisp to
SYMBOL-MACROLET in the next days.
Yours, Nicolas.
