Do you remember who you discussed it with? It had to be either Sklower or Foderaro, unless you talked with Fateman.

Were the macros originally from another dialect of Lisp?

Franz LISP had, I think, MacLISP macros, while Common LISP has a different system.

I talked to Fateman at some point. Too long ago to remember about what.
