OK, it sounds like most people who care about this issue prefer to have
the default values for arguments in DEFMACRO be evaluated, as in Maclisp,
since that is more general. I seem to be the only one who finds this
ugly and/or confusing, so it must just be a bug in my internal
representation. The manual should be clarified, preferably with an
example, to make it clear that this is the intended behavior.
