Well there's a very interesting thread on comp.lang.scheme we should
also investigate as part of this process.  My newsgroup access is dead
at the moment, but it was a *large* thread regarding macros and
compilation.  One impression from skimming it was that the PLT people
(I think it was PLT) feel like they've actually worked this out, and
that they thought that most of the other implementations/solutions
weren't addressing all the complexities yet.  Sorry, but that's about
as good an impression as I can give until I have time to more
thoroughly investigate.
