Yeah, SBCL uses this syntax in it's destructuring bind implementation.
I asked Helmut if it would be OK just to rename the parameter, and he
said that would be fine (I saw no reason to the contrary). I.e:

(parse-defmacro (&key ... ((:environment env-arg-name) (:default
*default-default*))) ...)

I don't really know what their reasoning was for doing it this way, I
can just chose different names. I've become slightly addicted to the
hyperspec, so I suppose I'm getting bogged down in things we don't
actually need for 99% of CL code... Guess working on &body now is a
better idea.
