//! The macro system: VLA.bas's `DefineMacro`, `ExpandMacros`, `ExpandOne`,
//! `Substitute` with the QUASIQUOTE bundle, the twenty-seven LISTOPS
//! primitives, `ExpandOnePass`, and `VlaExpandText` (PORT.5, slice 5d; the
//! expand-time object model's ten, VLA.3).
//!
//! Template-substitution macros: `(defmacro (name p1 p2 & rest) template
//! ...)`. A parameter is replaced by the form passed at the call site; the
//! rest parameter splices its forms into whatever list it stands in; several
//! template forms become one `(begin ...)`. No gensym, no compile-time
//! computation beyond the expand-time primitives, by design.
//!
//! The shape is the VBA's, function for function. `ExpandMacros` is the
//! hand-made trampoline: a form whose head is a macro is substituted and
//! looked at again, in a loop, and a `(begin ...)` a macro made (its line
//! is 0) is unwrapped around its last element, so a self-recursive walker's
//! chain length never becomes stack depth; the forms it set aside are
//! combined back into one `begin` at the end. Everything the macro system
//! makes carries line 0 (S3.1's explicit zero); a user's argument forms
//! keep their lines as they are copied in.
//!
//! The refusals are the catalogue's, by id, in the same situations.
