Comment (by sjamaan):

 This happens because parameterize expands to a call that passes #t or #f
 as a second argument to the parameter procedure, depending on whether the
 converter needs to be invoked.

 We can never truly hide this, because the macro expands to code at the
 call site, which means whatever it expands to needs to be accessible to
 the user.

 See also my suggestion in #1227 to make the second argument a keyword.
 This would make the problem less likely.
