It would work at the REPL wrapping a single expression because
macroexpansion will occur right before evaluation. But if you used
this in a deployment, or even from the REPL in a nested function or
something, you'd get a bunch of "Working..."s (or whatever) printed
when you first loaded the code, followed by a bunch of "done"s at
assorted times during evaluation, followed by the eventual output of
the thing.

If you want to flank the evaluation of some code with two printed
messages, both message prints need to be part of the macro's output
rather than one of them being a side effect of the macro's own
expansion.
