(macroexpand '(case (* 2 2 2 2 3)
                (10      'one)
                ((24 42) 'two)
                ((3 33)  'three)
                (otherwise 'unknown)))
-->
(let ((--cl-var-- (* 2 2 2 2 3)))
    (cond ((eql --cl-var-- (quote 10)) (quote one))
          ((member* --cl-var-- (quote (24 42))) (quote two))
          ((member* --cl-var-- (quote (3 33))) (quote three))
          (t (quote unknown))))

What do you think?
