In my Clojure article at http://ociweb.com/mark/clojure/article.html I say:

"Clojure code is processed in three phases: read-time, compile-time
and run-time. At read-time the Reader reads source code and converts
it to a data structure, mostly a list of lists of lists .... At
compile-time this data structure is converted to Java bytecode. At
run-time the bytecode is executed. Functions are only invoked at
run-time. Macros are special constructs that look similar to
functions, but are expanded into new Clojure code at read-time."

Is it correct to say that macros are expanded at read-time?
