//! Macro expander — rewrites `defmacro` / `defpoint-template` calls into
//! their quasi-quoted templates.
//!
//! Semantics (v0, no evaluator):
//!
//! ```lisp
//! (defmacro wrap (x) `(list ,x ,x))      ; or defpoint-template
//! (wrap hello)                            ; expands to (list hello hello)
//! ```
//!
//! Supported:
//!   - Required params:      `(name a b c)`
//!   - Optional params:      `(name a &optional b c)` — unsupplied bind to `()`
//!   - Rest param:           `(name a &rest rest)`
//!   - Quasi-quote body:     `` `(…) ``
//!   - Unquote substitution: `,x`
//!   - Splice substitution:  `,@x` (splices a bound list into the outer list)
//!   - Recursive expansion: macro bodies may call other macros.
//!
//! Not yet supported (no evaluator):
//!   - Arbitrary expressions under `,` — only bound symbol lookups.
//!   - Nested quasi-quotes.
//!   - Hygiene / gensym — param names capture aggressively.

///
/// After this lift step 3 is structural; every inline
/// `LispError::Compile { … }` triple in `macro_def_from` has been
/// lifted to a structural variant — the entire `macro_def_from`
/// rejection chain is structurally typed for failure modes.
///
/// `head` is `MacroDefHead` (the typed closed-set enum), having been
/// projected through `MacroDefHead::from_keyword` at the top of
/// `macro_def_from`. The helper threads `head` straight into the
/// variant's typed `head: MacroDefHead` slot — same posture as
/// `defmacro_arity` and `defmacro_non_symbol_name` after the
/// typed-slot promotion. `got` is `&Sexp` at the call site (a
/// borrow into the form's param-list slot); the helper projects
/// through `crate::domain::sexp_witness(_)` — the typed joint
/// primitive that pairs the offending `Sexp`'s `SexpShape` with its
/// `Sexp::Display` projection in ONE owned `SexpWitness` value, so
/// authoring tools bind to both the structural shape AND the rendered
/// literal across the variant slot. Same posture as `non_symbol_param`,
/// `non_symbol_unquote_target`, `splice_outside_list`, and
/// `defmacro_non_symbol_name`'s helpers after the typed-witness
/// promotion of their `got` slots.
///
/// Theory anchor: THEORY.md §VI.1 — generation over composition; one
/// inline copy still earns a named primitive once the structural
/// shape is named (the test count gives this the fail-before/pass-
/// after edge, parallel to how `defmacro_arity`,
