Yeah, sorry, missed that.

How does making the gensyms unreadable make things worse for
macroexpand than they are in CL?  If the gensym is used more than once
in the expansion (like bound to something in a let then referenced),
then reading the expansion back in will read two different symbols and
it won't work anyway.  If it doesn't get printed in reread it isn't a
problem in either system.  Or am I missunderstanding what you are
saying?

* (defmacro result (e) (let ((g (gensym))) `(let ((,g ,e)) ,g)))
* (result (+ 1 2))
3
* (macroexpand-1 '(result (+ 1 2)))
(LET ((#:G645 (+ 1 2))) #:G645)
* (LET ((#:G645 (+ 1 2))) #:G645)
