Macros are not functions. << is receiving as arguments a list with the two elements 'str and 'q. It must operate on them at compile time, before q has been given a run-time value: it cannot know what the value of q is. >From my uninformed position, strint looks like it should have been written as a function, not a macro, but probably there are reasons it was not. As an aside: it is sheer folly to interpolate strings for use in SQL queries. Do not do it; it will end in tears. PHP makes it easy, which is why there are so many SQL injection issues in PHP-powered sites.
