-;;; BOOTSTRAP MAGIC: We record the macro definitions as lists during
-;;; the bootstrap. Once everything is compiled, we want to dump the
-;;; whole global environment to the output file to reproduce it in the
-;;; run-time. However, the environment must contain expander functions
-;;; rather than lists. We do not know how to dump function objects
-;;; itself, so we mark the list definitions with this object and the
-;;; compiler will be called when this object has to be dumped.
-;;; Backquote/unquote does a similar magic, but this use is exclusive.
-;;;
-;;; Indeed, perhaps to compile the object other macros need to be
-;;; evaluated. For this reason we define a valid macro-function for
-;;; this symbol.
