Re: lexical mumblings

         However, I'm making the assumption that it's not worth a lot of
         extra complexity to make the interpreter ultra efficient (that's
         what the byte-compiler is for), and that it's sufficient that it be
         `good enough' (after all, macros are expanded every time they're
         evaluated!).

I agree.  I would much rather have the interpreter changes as simple
as possible, because then it may be feasible to install the changes.
