	    Proposal #10: Forms That Allow Declarations

	I did question the need/usefullness of allowing declarations in
	MACROLET.  Nobody has responded and I still can't think of any.

    It would come as a nasty surprise to people if MACROLET were different
    from FLET and LABELS in this respect.

I'm not saying we shouldn't do it, I'm saying we should acknowledge we
don't know what to do with it yet.  There have been parts of the
Symbolics documentation that say "We think this is useful but haven't
figured out for what yet.  We encourage experimentation and reports of
its usage."  I may have thought of one usage:
	(macrolet ((print-them (list)
		     `(mapc #'print ,list)))
	  (declare (notinline mapc))
	  ...)
If anybody else believes this, perhaps it should be one of the examples?
