This isn't an abuse at all. If I understand you correctly, you've
invented by yourself Common Lisp's "compiler macros". Scroll down to
"Arthur's Lecture: 'Compiler Macros'":

(Sorry for the google cache link; the ALU Wiki's down.)

I've occasionally thought of this, when looking at Clojure's code.


All the best,
Tayssir
