PARSE-BODY

    ...I'm still confused about the
    macroexpansion to find documentation strings and declarations: did the spec
    for Common Lisp ever have a say on this issue ?

Yes, see pages 153 and 154.  It was discovered some time later that
this, coupled with the existence of macro-let, requires body-parsing
macros to get hold of the appropriate lexical environment (at least the
part of it that defines local macros) in order to correctly do this
expansion.
