I agree about this. IMO it's very elegant, and also
(probably) the simplest way to expand define:

(define-macro (define def . rest)
  (if (pair? def)
      `(define ,(car def)
         (lambda ,(cdr def)
           ,@rest))
      `(internal-define ,def ,@rest)))

=> (macroexpand '(define ((f a) b) ...))
(internal-define f (lambda (a) (lambda (b) ...)))
