[CM] S7 macros

[Iain Duncan]

Right, I saw that in the docs. I was more curious as to why that was the
route chosen: whether there were historical reasons, coming from Tiny
Scheme, or it's just the approach that you like better, or S7 predates
syntax-rules, and so on. But no worries if that's not something you have
time or inclination to get into.

thanks
