Indeed the design is intentionally unhygienic; I couldn't find an easy way for default-hygienic to turn into unhygienic (we do need unhygienic macros sometimes), and there's a very easy way to turn default-unhygienic to hygienic ones (just add another pair of curlies). I'm not particularly happy with this; another thought is for q:code to be hygienic by default, but introduce a q:code(:no_scope) or q:code(:leak) or q:code(:unhygienic) or some other flag to remove the implicit scoping. Would that be a saner default? :-) Audrey
