Hygienic macros #76

@jgrosso

Description

@jgrosso

Currently, the macro system is unhygienic (a la Common Lisp and Clojure). Should it be made hygienic (a la Scheme and Racket)?

There are papers by the Scheme team that describe how to implement a hygienic macro system, which we should refer to if/when we tackle this.
